Tortuga
She said, 'Jack I don't want to see you back there my love
You never belonged to the gallows'
Tortuga
She said, 'Jack I don't want to see you back there my love
You never belonged to the gallows, and you never will
And you've always done, exactly what you wanted'
So take this little ship, and get out of my sight
Grow your hair long, let your smile shine bright
If you have the sea, you will never, never be alone
Trapped upon the land, I knew I couldn't stand it
I traveled cross the sea, to the Isle De La Muerta
And there I found a treasure
The likes of which the world had never seen
I thought I'd struck gold, I thought I'd struck riches
I thought I'd found a way to get away from you hateful witches
But next thing I knew I was stranded on this spit of an island
Tortuga! That's where we'll go
Never burned brighter, I've never felt better
Oh my boy, we are never going home
Tortuga! That's where it'll be
We'll find the treasure, we'll live forever
We will always be free
You were sitting on the beach, with a bottle of rum
Wasting away, in the heat of the sun
When you had an idea so crazy, so crazy it might work
(You are not alone)
So you waded in the water, and you stood there real still
'Till the turtles they swam, and they came to you at will
And you lashed them together with the hair, the hair from your back
And you sang to them remember
Remember my name is Jack
I cut that hole in the map
I took them for everything they had
I even found my hat
Remember your name is Jack
And when the bottle runs out though I'll be gone
And all you'll have left is a memory
Of me, and you, and the dawn
I would have gone there, I would have done anything
I would have gone there, I would have done anything
I would have gone there, I would have done anything
I would have gone there, I would have done anything
If you have the sea, you'll never be alone
If you have the sea, you'll never be alone
Tortuga! That's where we'll go
Tortuga! That's where we'll go
Tortuga! That's where we'll go
Tortuga! That's where we'll go
I would have gone there, I would have done anything
I would have gone there, yo-ho yo-ho
I would have gone there, I would have done anything
I would have gone there, yo-ho yo-ho
I would have gone there, I would have done anything
I would have gone there, yo-ho yo-ho
I would have gone there, I would have done anything
I would have gone there
She said, 'Jack I don't want to see you back there my love
You never belonged to the gallows'
You never belonged to the gallows'
Tortuga
