Lyrics Mariner's Revenge Song

We are two mariners our ships' sole survivors

In this belly of a whale

Its ribs our ceilin' beams

Its guts our carpetin'

I guess we have some time to kill

You may not remember me

I was a child of three and you a lad of eighteen

But I remember you and I will relate to you how our histories interweave

At the time you were a rake and a roustabout

Spendin' all your money on the whores and hounds

Oh oh

You had a charmin' air

All cheap and debonair

My widowed mother found so sweet

And so she took you in

Her sheets still warm with him now filled with filth and foul disease

As time wore on

You proved a debt-ridden drunken mess

Leavin' my mother a poor consumptive wretch

Oh woah

And then you disappeared

Your gamblin' arrears

The only thing you left behind

And then the magistrate reclaimed our small estate and my poor mother lost her mind

Then one day in Spring my dear sweet mother died

But before she did

I took her hand as she dyin' cried

Oh woah

Find him, bind him

Tie him to a pole and break his fingers to splinters

Drag him to a hole until he wakes up naked

Clawin' at the ceilin' of his grave

Hoo

It took me fifteen years to swallow all my tears among the urchins in the street

Until a priory took pity and hired me to keep their vestry nice and neat

But never once in the employ of these holy men

Did I ever once turn my mind from the thought of revenge

Oh woah

One night I overheard the Prior exchangin' words with a penitent whaler from the sea

The captain of his ship who matched you toe to tip was known for wanton cruelty

The followin' day

I shipped to sea with a privateer

And in the whistle of the wind

I could almost hear

Woah woah

Find him, bind him

Tie him to a pole and break his fingers to splinters

Drag him to a hole until he wakes up naked

Clawin' at the ceilin' of his grave

There is one thing I must say to you as you sail across the sea

Always your mother will watch over you

As you avenge this wicked deed

And then that fateful night we had you in our sight after twenty months at sea

Your starboard flank abeam

I was gettin' my muskets clean

When came this rumblin' from beneath

The ocean shook

The sky went black and the captain quailed

As before us grew the angry jaws of a giant whale woah oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh

Don't know how I survived

The crew all was chewed alive

I must have slipped between his teeth

But oh what providence

What divine intelligence that you should survive as well as me

It gives my heart great joy to see your eyes fill with fear

So lean in close and I will whisper the last words you'll hear

Woah woah
