Maggie’s Ship

Lyrics

[Intro, spoken] Welcome to me ship, boys. You'll find her as warm and inviting as I am. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! [Verse 1] There's a wicked captain by the name of Maggie Grey The strongest arm, the coldest heart, from here to Boston Bay Well she flashes you a smile, buys you a drink and maybe more You'll wake up in the morning half a mile away from shore [Chorus (spoken)] I don't wanna work another day on Maggie's ship I don't wanna work another day on Maggie's ship She's stingy with the coinage but she's generous with the whip No, I don't wanna work another day on Maggie's goddamn ship (Get back to work!) [Verse 2] Now Maggiе she's a tyrant, cutting bite and meanеr bark She learnt to break men's spirits before you had learnt to walk She'll shoot the wings right off a fly from fifty yards away Oh, she'll shoot you just for fun, or if you dare to disobey [Chorus] I don't wanna work another day on Maggie's ship I don't wanna work another day on Maggie's ship If she gives me ten more lashes then I might give her the slip No, I don't wanna work another day on Maggie's goddamn ship [Verse 3] Her crew's the coarsest bunch of cads she dragged from out the depths She raids the brig of any sorry ships she intercepts Her brother is the bosun, her fat daddy is the cook Her mother's doing time for all the Spanish gold she took [Chorus] I don't wanna work another day on Maggie's ship I don't wanna work another day on Maggie's ship She might not run you through but she'll sure poke you with the tip No, I don't wanna work another day on Maggie's goddamn ship [Bridge] She'll push you to your limit 'til you can't take no more She'll bend and break your spirit, you're begging on the floor She'll make you cry for mother, she'll make you long for shore She'll treat you like no other Goddamn, I think I love her [Outro (spoken)] Maggie's ship, Maggie's ship, Maggie's ship Maggie's ship, Maggie's ship, Maggie's ship Maggie's ship, Maggie's ship, Maggie's ship (I don't wanna work) Maggie's ship, Maggie's ship, Maggie's ship (I don't wanna work) Maggie's ship, Maggie's ship, Maggie's ship (I don't wanna work) Maggie's ship, Maggie's ship, Maggie's ship (I don't wanna work) (Non ci voglio andare a lavorare con Maggie! Non ci vado!) (All hands on deck, ye low-life sons o' biscuit eaters!)
