lyrics

I’ve been washed up with the crew of the Raven
With those wide-eyed boys I’ve been sailing
With salt in my face and the gold in my mind
We emptied our barrels and got caught from behind
Now I’m washed up with the crew of The Raven
And that hot old sun is a-blazing
We emptied our hearts when the canons were fired
Now six men are lost and the captain is blind

So kiss my skull, cross my bones
Sister when you gonna come and take me home

I set sail with the crew of the Raven
Looking for a boat to get paid in
With dreams in my head and luck on my side
And a good deck of cards upon which I relied

Through ancient seas I was trailing
But the guns hit the last nail in
And everything was slow and everything was black
And the water is warm but the boots hold you back

So kiss my skull, cross my bones
Sister when you gonna come and take me home

I was wrecked there with the crew of the Raven
Not much of her was worth saving
So we ran for the cliffs and we ran for the town
Not once looking back at the dead and the drowned

Kiss my skull, cross my bones
Sister don’t you know that I’m coming home
