Long John Silver Full Lyrics

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
