Morgan the seasick pirate

(Chorus)
Yo-ho-ho, and a bucket by his side,
Captain's face is green as the turning of the tide.
Yo-ho-ho, as the sea rolls wide,
The captain's got the bellyache, can't keep it all inside!

(Verse 1)
We sail on the ocean, the waves roll high,
With Captain named Morgan and a patch on his eye.
But when the sea's choppy and the gales start to cry,
He leans on the rail and heaves with a sigh.

(Chorus)
Yo-ho-ho, and a bucket by his side,
Captain's face is green as the turning of the tide.
Yo-ho-ho, as the sea rolls wide,
The captain's got the bellyache, can't keep it all inside!

(Verse 2)
He's bold and he's daring when the battle bell tolls,
But give him a swell and he starts to lose control.
He'll stagger and stumble, he'll quake in his soul,
And the rest of the crew, they keep him from a roll.

(Chorus)
Yo-ho-ho, and a bucket by his side,
Captain's face is green as the turning of the tide.
Yo-ho-ho, as the sea rolls wide,
The captain's got the bellyache, can't keep it all inside!

(Verse 3)
He’s fierce with a cutlass, he's sharp with a blade,
But he can’t keep his breakfast if the winds start to raid.
When the waves crash and the ship starts to wade,
He clutches to the mast like he's seeking its aid.

(Chorus)
Yo-ho-ho, and a bucket by his side,
Captain's face is green as the turning of the tide.
Yo-ho-ho, as the sea rolls wide,
The captain's got the bellyache, can't keep it all inside!

(Verse 4)
Yet the crew, they adore him, they follow his lead,
For he’s got the heart and he knows what they need.
They trust in his wisdom, his honor, his creed,
Though he might turn green with a little too much speed.

(Yo-ho-ho, as the sea rolls wide,
The captain's got the bellyache, can't keep it all inside!

(Verse 5)
So we sail on together, on the deep ocean's wave,
With a captain who’s braver than the seas can behave.
Though his stomach might falter, his spirit’s still brave,
He'll lead us to treasure and a salty pirate's grave.

(Final Chorus)
Yo-ho-ho, and a bucket by his side,
Captain's face is green as the turning of the tide.
Yo-ho-ho, as the sea rolls wide,
The captain's got the bellyache, can't keep it all inside!
