Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Storm on the starboard
Cards on the crate
Captain’s gone crooked
Counting our fate
Salt in my teeth
And a scar on my knee
Swore I’d die broke
But I’d die on the sea
[Chorus]
So raise that bottle
Boys
And break that wave
We’ll sing for the cowards that we couldn’t save
If the ocean wants my bones
Let the devil wait
I got whiskey on the wake
And I’m already late (hey!)
[Verse 2]
Galway girl’s locket hangs off my neck
Rust on the chain like the rust on this wreck
I wrote her a promise in charcoal and blood
The rain washed it clean
So I married the flood
[Chorus]
So raise that bottle
Boys
And break that wave
We’ll sing for the cowards that we couldn’t save
If the ocean wants my bones
Let the devil wait
I got whiskey on the wake
And I’m already late (oh, row)
[Bridge]
If I go down
Let the ropes go slack
Sing my name twice
Then don’t look back
Carve me a cross in the captain’s rail
And toast to the fools who outran the gale
[Chorus]
So raise that bottle
Boys
And break that wave
We’ll sing for the cowards that we couldn’t save
If the ocean wants my bones
Let the devil wait
I got whiskey on the wake
And I’m already late (hey!)

Style
Rowdy sea shanty with stomping floor toms, gang vocals, and raucous fiddle lines; verses stay tight and percussive, chorus explodes with call-and-response chants and thick harmonies, accordion swells between lines; rough male vocals leading, crew-style shouts in the hook, tempo driving like a storm-tossed deck under heavy boots, shanty
