 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

         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

 Riff 3 x2
 Riff 4 x2

         A cry of freedom on the sea

 Riff 1 x4
