Capt Jackie back from his pirating exploits is incarcerated and plans yet another daring escape...
Lyrics
Come gather round ye mariners and a tale I will sing
Of when Jack and his crew to Cherry Knowle they did bring
Where they locked them away with the sick and depraved
Down on the old Gannet Wing
It was there that they met them some ship mates of old
Who served with old Jack when he sailed for green gold
They cried out ta Jackie
'O Jack where ya bin?'
He smiles and says 'A 'hard traveling.'
I've been all out at sea
I've seen far distant worlds
Where marijuana is harvested by bare breasted girls
I've stole riches from Kings and I've slept with the queens
Now I sleep on the old Gannet Wing
And they cried out to Jackie
'Jack why we here? The tea it tastes funny and they don't allow beer.'
The crew they cried mutiny and then they did sing
'Cast us far from this cruel Gannet Wing.'
And we'll be sailing far away way out of it today
Forever rolling on the ocean green
Forever rolling on the ocean wide
The tide is growing higher all the while
Hold on there me ladd's the walls are too thick
I've got me a plan we'll be stead fast and quick
The nurses we'll take for their uniforms to steal
And we'll walk out in skirts and high heels
And we'll be sailing far away way out of it today
Forever rolling on the ocean green
Forever rolling on the ocean wide
The tide is growing higher all the while
The tide is growing higher all the while...
