Because I rock steady As the broadsides roar Seen an MC stowing a whore, flung him by the board It came on a blow, I defied the waves to crash By the naval traditions of rum, sodomy, and the lash So kiss my full-grown ass And reef the topgallant sheets I tell a North Sea Story over pirated beats Water, water, every here And all the boards did shrink Water, water, everywhere Nor any drop to drink I was below, feeling pitiful low, when the lookout cried "Sail ahoy!" and the hands came alive It was the Constitution out of Boston, there on the full tide A lawful prize. How I longed to wipe that ship of the line's eye She tried to fly, upon my sacred word of honor But we had the faster hull and the weather gauge on her We drew up on her leeward side, fired a blast Dismasted and boarded her, called out, Hold fast My head wasn't right, I'd ate a fistful of uppers Many a man's blood swirled off through the scuppers Her captain had the honor to present me his cutlass But I strung up that sucker MC from the foretopmast It's the rhyme of the ancient mariner The rhyme of the ancient mariner The rhyme of the ancient mariner I'm a stalwart old salt, my beard is flecked with white And I can chase you 'round the flames of perdition by moonlight I'd give my good right hand for a band of able seamen Stead of this passel of SoundCloud rappers I been leading Ancient I be, a crisscross of scars tells my tale A predatory derelict, a relic from the age of sail Handsomely there by that taffrail, you scurvy dog Don't give me a reason to cut you off your grog Clear for action! We shall beat to quarters I got sharpshooters up in the tops to snipe the boarders The sea is up, and the waves creaming over the stern Our only mission is to capture, sink, or burn If you see our frigate upon the next sun's rising Or spot us hull up on yonder Western horizon You're faced with a mariner who steers by the stars And there'll be the devil to pay when I cut your spars God save thee, ancient Mariner From the fiends that plague thee thus! Why look'st thou so? With my crossbow I shot that albatross It's the rhyme of the ancient mariner The rhyme of the ancient mariner The rhyme of the ancient mariner It's the rhyme of the ancient mariner The rhyme of the ancient mariner The rhyme of the ancient mariner It's the rhyme of the ancient mariner The rhyme of the ancient mariner The rhyme of the ancient mariner
