Countless years ago, while lost in barren seas   There whispered murmurs of a bloody mutiny   We took up arms and slayed the officers of rank   And with swords drawn, made the captain walk the plank      But as he fell down to the depths, he swore a deadly curse   "As sure as hell's my final fate, You'll all soon die or worse"   Now as we stand before the gallows waiting for the end   I'll say these final words my friend      At sunrise we will dance the hempin jig   So raise up your pint of rum and take another swig   The curse of Captain Morgan has lead us to this fate   So have no fear and don't look back   The afterlife awaits!      We returned to port with sorrow in our chests   An evil shadow followed us on every quest   Never to feel joy again was our fate   Only misery and death, fear and burning hate      We broke the law, betrayed the code   Now time is running out   An unforgivable offence   Oh, of that there is no doubt      Now as we stand before the gallows waiting for the end   I'll say these final words my friend      At sunrise we will dance the hempin jig   So raise up your pint of rum and take another swig   The curse of Captain Morgan has lead us to this fate   So have no fear and don't look back   The afterlife awaits!      Many years, have passed now   Yet, the curse still lives on   And now we rot, in a black prison cell   Waiting for our true calling in hell!      But for the lives we leave behind, don't shed a tear don't cry   The only way to break this curse is for us all to die   Now as we stand before the gallows waiting for the end   I'll say these final words my friend..      At sunrise we will dance the hempin jig   So raise up your pint of rum and take another swig   The curse of Captain Morgan has lead us to this fate   So have no fear and don't look back   The afterlife awaits!
