Long John Silver Songtext / Lyric

Long John Silver, he was on me like a rash

Gave him my trust, gave him my cash

Should have seen through him, should have seen from the start

There's nothing but black in pirate's heart

Long John Silver, Long John Silver

Don't bet your shirt on Long John Silver

Long John Silver, Long John Silver

Don't bet your shirt on Long John Silver

Long John Silver, he's good with numbers

He makes hay while other folks slumber

Gives me the brass, and he keeps all the best

The better to feather his pretty little nest

Long John Silver, Long John Silver,

Don't bet your shirt on Long John Silver

Long John Silver, Long John Silver

Don't bet your shirt on Long John Silver

Took all my money, my watch and chain

Crack his head if I see him again

Kind friends, warning take by me

Not every pirate's sailing the sea

Long John Silver, Long John Silver

Don't bet your shirt on Long John Silver

Long John Silver, Long John Silver

Don't bet your shirt on Long John Silver
