Port Royal
Riff 1 x6
Riff 2 x6
Hundred masts, thirty flags
An island in the golf of Darien
Sandglas, bloody heart
Flying high above the scene
Marooners with loaded guns
Are still waiting at the quay
A hungry fleet from underworld
"Freedom" is the law they pray
Riff 3 x2
Riff 2 x4
"Black strap", rum and gin
Sexual freedom all the way
A rolling dice, an ace of hearts
One shall win and one�s to pay
Concord and freedom
No need for the holy writ
Rebellions, non-servile
Spitting on religious hypocrites
Riff 3 x2
Riff 4 x2
Port Royal
A cry of freedom on the sea
Riff 5 x2
Riff 1 x2
Riff 6 x6
Riff 2 x6
When the "Oxford" hits the sea
Slave driver learns the moses law
There is no chance, they can�t escape
They hunt them down and eat �em raw
Gin Lane, New Providence
It all is now since a long time gone
But there are still descendants
Port Royal spirit lives forever on
Riff 3 x2
Riff 4 x2
Port Royal
A cry of freedom on the sea
Riff 1 x4
