KEEP YOUR PARDON! | No Man on This Deck Gets Sold

KEEP YOUR PARDON is an original pirate sea shanty with fiery fiddle roaring crew vocals and a story of loyalty rebellion and a crew that refuses to sell one of their own They offered the entire crew their freedom for one simple price Their captain The pardons were already signed The Crown thought every man had a price They were wrong When the Crown comes under a white flag offering freedom in exchange for their captain the answer is not negotiation It is fire And when the warships arrive to collect what they came for they discover they did not come for one pirate They came for the whole crew 🔥 KEEP YOUR PARDON ⚔️ NO MAN ON THIS DECK GETS SOLD 🏴‍☠️ SEND EVERY SHIP Welcome aboard Blackbeards Tavern If you enjoy pirate sea shanties energetic pirate folk fiery fiddle roaring crew choruses and stories from the high seas subscribe and join the crew LYRICS They came under white at the break of the day A Crown man aboard with a bargain to say Give us your captain your records are cleared Your chains will be broken your names disappear He laid down the pardons all stamped bloody red One for each sailor except for my head I looked at my crew not a whisper was heard Then Flint struck a match without saying a word KEEP YOUR PARDON KEEP YOUR GOLD No man on this deck gets sold Take your seal and take your lies Get that white flag from our sight KEEP YOUR PARDON DEAL IS DONE Hear our answer from the guns If the Crown wants one man from this crew SEND EVERY SHIP WILL TAKE THEM TOO The match kissed the parchment the wax ran like blood The first pardon blackened and fell with a thud One after another we fed them the flame Till every last promise was ash to their name He warned there are warships already in sight We gave him his skiff and a lantern for light I poured in the ashes and called through the blue Tell them if they want me they are taking us too KEEP YOUR PARDON KEEP YOUR GOLD No man on this deck gets sold Take your seal and take your lies Get that white flag from our sight KEEP YOUR PARDON DEAL IS DONE Hear our answer from the guns If the Crown wants one man from this crew SEND EVERY SHIP WILL TAKE THEM TOO At dusk came the warships six deep in a line Their colors all royal their cannons aligned Six hundred guns for the price on my head Their sails filled the horizon in black white and red They called for surrender one final decree The deck stayed dead silent all eyes turned to me I drew up my cutlass and pointed it through They came here for one man They found the whole crew A Crown can buy judges a prison a rope Can hand you a pardon and dress it as hope But gold buys the frightened and fear buys the cold You cannot buy men who refuse to be sold KEEP YOUR PARDON KEEP YOUR GOLD NO MAN ON THIS DECK GETS SOLD Take your seal and take your lies WATCH YOUR ROYAL COLORS DIE KEEP YOUR PARDON DEAL IS DONE NOW HEAR OUR ANSWER FROM THE GUNS If the Crown wants one man from this crew SEND EVERY SHIP WILL TAKE THEM TOO Subscribe to Blackbeards Tavern for more original pirate songs sea shanties pirate folk and tales from the high seas #SeaShanty #PirateMusic #PirateSong #PirateSeaShanty #PirateFolk #FolkMusic #FiddleMusic #CelticFolk #ShantyMusic #PirateAnthem #EpicPirateMusic #TavernMusic #FantasyMusic #NauticalMusic #BlackbeardsTavern
