Stick Martin - The Tale of Captain McNail Lyrics

Oh, this is the tale of Captain McNail
He sailed in 1693
With a fee-fi-fo-fum and a bottle of rum
He's the saltiest dog in the sea

It was ten years ago when I saw his shop land
Invaded my town with his saber in hand
His fury and madness, they rain down like hail
He said, "Men, stop at nothing, kill for the booty"
Spied my daughter, Shannon, said, "She's quite a beauty
He's wicked, he's evil, he's Captain McNail

Oh, this is the tale of Captain McNail
He killed them in front of my eyes
He called forth a slaughter and stole off my daughter
In dreams I can still hear her cries

The girl, a lass of only fifteen
His men they were vile, fearsome and mean
Watch out for you daughters when he sets sail
He drew forth his sword and swung at my head
He sliced through my eye and left me for dead
A shark in the water, he's Captain McNail

Oh, this is the tale of Captain McNail
He took my poor Shannon from me
I discover his band and kill every man
And cast his evil bones to the sea

Oh, you raped and you pillaged, you burned down my village
You killed all my family and friends
And I sing this song for it will not belong
Till I kill you and have my revenge
While your ship was at port
Aboard I did creep
I slit you men's throats while they were asleep
It's your turn to die Captain McNail

A watery jail for Captain McNail
He walk off the plank to the sea
I laughed when he cried on the night when he died
In seventeen hundred and three
Oh Captain McNail
I cast your evil bones to the sea
