Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We left the cove in rain
With tar on every sleeve
The map was split by flame
And every man believed
A tooth in the black deep
Was taking down our name
So we nailed the mast up hard
And fed the fire the blame
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the rope go tight
Hear the boards complain
Something huge below
Rises through the rain
Load the iron fast
Lock the chest and pray
When the dark comes up
We take it anyway
[Chorus]
Yo ho, take the gold
Yo ho, take the gold
Crack that cursed sea open
Let the whole coast know
Yo ho, take the gold
Yo ho, take the gold
We hunt the beast tonight
Then we drink it slow (yo ho)
[Verse 2]
Its eyes were lantern-brown
Its jaws were barnacle white
It broke three ships in half
Before the middle of night
We cut through thunderheads
With sparks on every side
And fired till the sky
Turned red where it died
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the rope go tight
Hear the crewmen scream
Claw marks on the rail
Salt in every seam
Load the iron fast
Never break the line
If the beast wants war
It can drown in brine
[Chorus]
Yo ho, take the gold
Yo ho, take the gold
Crack that cursed sea open
Let the whole coast know
Yo ho, take the gold
Yo ho, take the gold
We hunt the beast tonight
Then we drink it slow (yo ho)
[Bridge]
Below the foam and foam
We found the buried chain
Three hooks in a coffin lid
And a king with no face to claim
So we laughed at the curse
And tossed it to the waves
Now the dark itself
Is looking for its grave
[Final Chorus]
Yo ho, take the gold
Yo ho, take the gold
Crack that cursed sea open
Let the whole coast know
Yo ho, take the gold
Yo ho, take the gold
Raise up the ale and cheer
For the ones who came home (yo ho)
