The Bilge Rat Inn

This is a pirate tavern song of a fictional tavern on some pirate island. It's a song from my past pirate metal experimental band...

The Bilge Rat Inn

That wood rotten house
in the center of town,

Where there's a lot to be seen
and a lot to be found,

The Bilge Rat Inn
is the name of that hole,
if you're passing come by if you
have some gold...

Where Nelsons Folly
smells better than food,

Where whenches 'n' w****s
are looking good,

We throw some dice
and poke fingers with knives,
with a reflection of gold
In our eyes!

The Bilge Rat Inn,
our foul smelling home.
Where we spend our plunder
on gambling and and w***e.
Come 'n' sit by,
I'll buy you a drink,
Till loaded to the gunwall
we are!

Where friendships are made
and the deals are hot,

Where toasts are proposed
and fights were fought,

Where pirates are proud
and the music is loud,
to this place
we are forever bound!

We're sharing our plunder
and the coins are tossed,

We have a drink
for those who are lost,

We laugh and we lie,
we sing and we cry,
We'll be here till the day
we die!

The Bilge Rat Inn,
our foul smelling home.
Where we spend our plunder
on gambling and and w***e.
Come 'n' sit by,
I'll buy you a drink,
Till loaded to the gunwall
we are!

Author's Note

It has some grammar issues, mostly because it was for a metal song...

Another great atmospheric read. The thought of singing this in a 'Pirate metal band' sounds awesome. makes a change from those goddam mushy generic loves songs they churn out.

spelling error; whenches - wenches. not that it really matters! great work.

I had a million dollars, half of it I blew on loose women and alcohol and the other half I wasted.
