Pirate Shanties - Gold Beneath the Gallows

Pirate Shanties Playlist:    • Pirate Shanties   Lyrics We dug beneath the gallows tree Where old Black Morgan died, And found a chest of Spanish gold That he'd been sworn to hide. A map was stitched inside his coat, A curse was carved in bone, And every man who touched that gold Would never sail back home. Gold beneath the gallows, Blood beneath the sand, A fortune for the taking In a cursed and broken land. Raise your spade and raise your glass, The devil's debts are paid, We'll buy ourselves a kingdom With the gold beneath the blade! The quartermaster drew his knife, The gunner raised his gun, The bosun swore he'd kill us all Before the night was done. We fought beneath the crooked tree, The moon our only light, And when the final pistol smoked, There were three men left that night. Gold beneath the gallows, Blood beneath the sand, A fortune for the taking In a cursed and broken land. Raise your spade and raise your glass, The devil's debts are paid, We'll buy ourselves a kingdom With the gold beneath the blade! I took the map, I took the gold, I took the captain's ring, But every night I hear the rope Beneath the gallows swing. The dead men whisper through my door, They call me by my name, And all the riches in the world Can't drown the sound of blame. Now strangers come to ask me where The treasure's buried deep, I tell them where the gallows stands, Then watch them sail to sleep. For gold can buy a thousand men, A hundred ships of war, But nothing buys a peaceful night When death is at your door. Gold beneath the gallows, Blood beneath the sand, A fortune for the taking In a cursed and broken land. Raise your spade and raise your glass, The devil's debts are paid… The gold is mine… The curse is mine… And death will claim me in its time. #shanties #piratesong #pirateshanties #folk #CozyRealmSounds #CozyRealm #RelaxingSounds #RelaxingMusic #AmbientMusic #StudyMusic #StressRelief #TheCozyRealmSounds
