The final moments of the battle between Edward Teach (Black Beard) and Captain Maynard

lyrics

The teacher

Oi Maynard, you’d better stop. Cos if you don’t I’ll take my shot.
Damnation seize my soul if I give you quarter or I take it from you.

Many men have sealed their fate. With swords they die in hungry haste.
The skull looks down with hour glass, and so it starts for all time to pass.

The history books are writing my name.
A fearsome man who was away head of the game.

You’ve cross swords with a teacher, so come on son its time to meet ya,
You’ve heard about my fearsome ways. I’ll cut you down if it takes all day.
So don’t stop, or there’ll be one left. A fight for honour a fight to the death.

With smoke in my eyes and a crazy smile, I’ll swing first.
You wont take me alive. So don’t be surprised if I don’t bow down to ya.

And so now the fighting starts, you come hear with a hungry hart.
A lucky strike and a crafty shot. It takes more than you think you’ve got.

Not easy will I bow for you. Not in front of my loyal crew.
So swear to die or just get maimed. And so we play the Navy game.

The history books are writing my name.
A fearsome man who was away head of the game.

You’ve cross swords with a teacher, so come on son its time to meet ya,
You’ve heard about my fearsome ways. I’ll cut you down if it takes all day.
So don’t stop, or there’ll be one left. A fight for honour a fight to the death.

With smoke in my eyes and a crazy smile, I’ll swing first.
You wont take me alive. So don’t be surprised if I don’t bow down to ya.
