Congo River

from Pirates' Gold by The Jolly Rogers

/

lyrics

Oooh – Was you ever on the Congo River?
Blow, boys, blow!
Black fever makes the white man shiver!
Blow me bully boys, blow!
An Irish ship came down the river
Blow, boys, blow!
Her mast and yards, they shone like silver!
Blow me bully boys, blow!
And blow me boys, and blow forever
Blow, boys, blow!
I blow me down that Congo River
Blow me bully boys, blow!
And yonder comes the Arrow Packet
Blow, boys, blow!
She fires her guns, can‟t ya hear the racket?
Blow me bully boys, blow!
And you do you think was the skipper of her?
Blow, boys, blow!
Why, Bully Haze, the sailor robber!
Blow me bully boys, blow!
Chorus
And what do you think she had for cargo?
Blow, boys, blow!
A black sheep that had run the embargo
Blow me bully boys, blow!
And what do you think they had for dinner?
Blow, boys, blow!
Why, a Frenchman‟s heart, and a Scotsman‟s liver!
Blow me bully boys, blow!
Chorus x2
