Lyrics:

[Instrumental intro]

[Intro]

Port Royal stood with a devil's grin,
A hundred taverns soaked in sin,
Rum ran red, the gold ran deep,
Where thieves would toast and none would sleep.

[Instrumental interlude]

[Chorus]

Yo-ho! The gates of Hell swung wide,
Rum and fire on every tide!
Yo-ho! Hear the old bell clang,
Port Royal, where the wicked sang!

[Instrumental interlude]

[Verse 2]

Henry Morgan ruled the shore,
Port Royal’s throne in blood and lore.
Blackbeard laughed through smoke and flame,
And Calico Jack drank here to fame.

[Chorus]

Yo-ho! The gates of Hell swung wide,
Rum and fire on every tide!
Yo-ho! Hear the old bell clang,
Port Royal, where the wicked sang!

[Instrumental interlude]

[Verse 3]

Flags of death cut through the tide.
As gallows rose in grim delight.
Anne Bonny drew her blade to fight,
While knaves made merry through tavern night.

[Instrumental interlude]

[Verse 4]

But then the sea began to wail,
The ground did split, the sky turned pale.
A tidal scream, a fiery moan,
The devil came to claim his own.
To claim his own!

[Instrumental interlude]

[Final chorus]

Yo-ho! Remember that shore,
Where a hundred taverns sang of war.
Yo-ho! Now the sea rolls cold and gray,
But Port Royal's curse won’t fade away.

[Instrumental outro]

[End]
