Greg O'Donovan

Come on me, boys, sit down by the fire
A story 'bout valour, strength and desire
He was my captain, a friend and a great man
The crew fought in the name of Greg O'Donovan

He was armed with pistols and cutlasses
Fought in queen and war and slashed banner sashes
Ten gorgeous women in his cabin every night
Taking care of him after a glorious fight

With the stars as our guide
We stood by his side
We follow his voice
We have made our choice

With the stars as our guide
We stood by his side
We left our kin for Greg O'Donovan

He plundered back from merchants and warships as well
Bringing goods or man who are lying in his cell
He split every good loot with all of his crew
Although he was the leader of every single crew

A good year's passed, once the British declared war
They sunk all lying off the English shore
His faith was sealed by that one sheep shot
Whatever will we do? What we were taught

With the stars as our guide
We stood by his side
We follow his voice
We have made our choice

With the stars as our guide
We stood by his side
We left our kin for Greg O'Donovan

Greg, Greg, Greg O'Donovan
Greg, Greg, Greg O'Donovan
Greg, Greg, Greg O'Donovan
Greg, Greg, Greg O'Donovan
Greg, Greg, Greg O'Donovan
Greg, Greg, Greg O'Donovan
Greg, Greg, Greg O'Donovan
Greg, Greg, Greg O'Donovan

With the stars as our guide
We stood by his side
We left our kin for Greg O'Donovan

With the stars as our guide
We stood by his side
We left our kin for Greg O'Donovan
