A-Swinging We Must Go

We betted all our novelty
You reap what you did sow
To a man in mask from the colony
And a-swinging we must go

A-swinging we must go
A-swinging we must go
A hangman's dealing all the cards
And a-swinging we must go

To flee from storm and mutiny
You reap what you did sow
We sold our souls to Old Nick you see
A-swinging we must go
A-swinging we must go
A-swinging we must go
The Devil has come now to collect And a-swinging we must go

We met a widow hot as hell
You reap what you did sow
That she's a widow rang no bell
And a-swinging we must go
A-swinging we must go
A-swinging we must go
She fiercely took us one by one
And a-swinging we must go

We stole from Cooper's barrel
You reap what you did sow
Got dressed in Eve's apparel
And a-swinging we must go
A-swinging we must go
A-swinging we must go
Our tits and dicks are hanging loose
And a-swinging we must go

So many ways to die at sea
You reap what you did sow
No other way for you and me
And a-swinging we must go
A-swinging we must go
A-swinging we must go
And at land rope's end, our only friend
And a-swinging we must go

The justice tried our felony
You reap what you did sow
The noose is tied by the deputy
And a-swinging we must go
A-swinging we must go
A-swinging we must go
Our bowels will surely empty themselves
And a-swinging we must go
