Come over here and listen to my tale On a rainy summers day my ship set sail They got me drunk on rum and ale In the dockside inn called "Jonah's Whale" I was ten years old when forced to sea So judge me not and I won't judge thee I hardly learnt about the birds and bees When I had to face the man in me Oh the evil sea The evil sea Hypocrites are ye Oh the evil sea "Aye aye" said I with deep respect I saluted then I scrubbed the deck I stole and robbed to save my neck As I grew up on that rotten wreck I was sad and depressed from the age of ten To a pirate's life I was condemned I soon got used to killing men So many that I don't know where or when Oh the evil sea Hypocrites are we The evil sea Oh the evil sea I wish I'd never gone to sea But the ghosts they just won't let me be My ship-mates faces still haunt me As I sing with them in harmony Oh the evil sea The evil sea Hypocrites are we Oh the evil sea A tempest raged all around my head For forty days and nights they said Someone cried that the captain was dead The moon it turned bloody red The rain fell hard and the gales did blow I heard shouts of 'Fire down below' The burning decks began to glow We were sinking with this ship of woes Oh the evil sea The evil sea Hypocrites are ye Oh the evil sea I woke up shipwrecked on the shore The storm was gone but the sea still roared On the beach I found a broken oar Never heard of the crew any more My troubled youth was spent in vain My life would never be the same To forget the past I changed my name And I washed my hands of any blame Oh the evil sea The evil sea Hypocrites are ye Oh the evil sea I wish I'd never gone to sea 'Cause the ghosts they just won't let me be Those ghastly nightmares they haunt me As I'm hanging from the gallows tree Oh the evil sea The evil sea Hypocrites are ye Oh the evil sea Oh the evil sea The evil sea Hypocrites are ye Oh the evil sea
