lyrics

Not long ago I’ve heard this terrifyin’ tale
‘bout a cap’n of unprecedented cruelty
Johnny wuz his name, by fear an’ terror he commanded
until his tired an’ angry crew planned mutiny

The cap’n wuz-a caught by this revenge thirsting horde
Some scallywag came out with a cat o’nine tails
There wuz a consultation, his punishment decided
A ramble through the dark cold water under the keel The ropes were tied tight to his ankles an’ his wrists
Down there wuz full o’sharks so hungry for fresh meat
Ya-ha-harrrr laughed the lads loud as hell
The worst evil wishes an’ curses they yelled The cap’n wuz-a struggling underwater for his life
When he tore the rope with its sharklike steely bite
He clung the cord with steady hand an’ then began to climb
Sharkbite Johnny wuz returning to life Dead silence fell on deck then came a curse an’then a pray
The cap’n came on board, he wuz back among his mates
The looking in his eyes would cringe-a Satan himself
Sharkbite Johnny wuz ready for revenge
