Captain Bligh
The whaler goes on out to sea
The bats are in the belfry
Captain Bligh harpoon in hand
Cat-o-ninetails every man
Captain Bligh meets his end
Eaten up by revenge
Eaten up full of hate
Grisly is his fate
Moral given never learnt
If you hate you'll be burnt
Every man on board is damned
Each one knows it every hand
No man here forgets his past
When Captain Bligh is dead at last
The bats are in the belfry
Captain Bligh harpoon in hand
Cat-o-ninetails every man
Captain Bligh meets his end
Eaten up by revenge
Eaten up full of hate
Grisly is his fate
Moral given never learnt
If you hate you'll be burnt
Every man on board is damned
Each one knows it every hand
No man here forgets his past
When Captain Bligh is dead at last
