lyrics

I’m Captain Bridgerto and you must sing me a song
If you cannot
Your life will be gone
In order to cross
This tune must be grand
Or you’ll be trapped on the Island of the Damned

Okay Captain Bridgerto
Have a taste of this
Hear it all, comes the song
Of the man with one extra fist
With one extra fist I’m the bare knuckle boxing champ
Cracking jaws and breaking ribs
I love making bones go snap
The roar of the crowd makes me go bezerk
With the extra fist from god I can do half
More work
I’m taking all my winnings to spend it on a gal
That I heard about from my pirate pal

Well that’s not near good enough
My ears had no delight
Try again my wayward friend
Or this is your last night.

Okay Captain Bridgerto
Here’s my second take
The naughty gal Darcy blue
Madame by the lake
Her eyes red as the devil’s
Her heart was brisket black
She ‘twas not much to looks at
But a hellcat in the sack
You better treat her proper
Never to get her pissed
Or lest you be confronted
By her man with the extra fist
The first night you meet her she’ll make your dreams true
And if she finds you worthy she’ll do the Darcy blue

Darcy blue, Darcy blue I loved you from the moment I saw you
You were sitting at the bar drinking whiskey from a jar
Intoxicated by your sweet perfume
Darcy blue (Darcy blue!), Darcy blue (Darcy blue!) I love the way you commandeer the room For only 50 bits she’ll let you kiss her lips oh how I love you, Darcy blue

That was a little bit better
But still I’m not impressed
I’ll give you one final chance
Or lay your soul to rest

Okay Captain Bridgerto
This one is a smash
Here’s the story of the taco pirate Lumberjack Cash
No parrot on his shoulder just a giant taco bat
Pillaging the plunderous in every port he’s at
His mighty woody axe swings longly to and fro
You know he’s had your good wife if she’s splintered down below
The only thing finer than a taco in the hand
To eat and drink and forn and fight with Darcy and her man

You tales have touched me deeply
Before you can go on.
I acquiesce to one last request that you play another song
Then you may continue
Traveling on through
I want to hear the Steel Bridge classic “Whiskey and a Brew”

When I drink I only drink of two

Let’s have a drink now!!
