lyrics

Ye listen to me words me friend Ohoy, Ohoy!
Our days are comin’ to an end. Ohoy, Ohoy!
At sea there dreadful horrors be, they’re comin’ here fer ye n’ me,
And we all be doomed when ye dead come sailing home.

In fifteen hundred and sixty-one. Ohoy, Ohoy!
A ship with crew went down n drowned. Ohoy, Ohoy!
But the captain said we dead won’t stay,
I’ll sell me soul to be back one day,
In a hundred years ye dead will sail again!

When ye dead come sailin’ home again Ohoy, Ohoy!
All men n’ women tremble then. Ohoy, Ohoy!
Oh the men will flee, n’ the boys will shout,
the ladies they will all turn out.
And they all be doomed when ye dead come sailin’ home

Ye old church bell shall ring with dread Ohoy, Ohoy!
To welcome our returning dead. Ohoy, Ohoy!
The village lads n’ lassies say,
piles of corpses line the way.
And they all be doomed when ye dead come sailin’ home.

In sixteen hundred and sixty-one Ohoy, Ohoy!
Ye dead shall sail again me friend. Ohoy, Ohoy!
In sixteen hundred and sixty-one,
All men and women will turn n’ run.
And all they be doomed when ye dead come sailin’ home.

Them hundred years have past so fast Ohoy, Ohoy!
Behold at sea a crooked mast. Ohoy, Ohoy!
A rotten deck n’ a leaking hull,
under a rag of bones n skull.
And we all be doomed when ye dead come sailin’ home.
