Ye attack on Porto Bello

Music & Lyrics: Daniel Björkbacka

We are fierce, we are cruel
We are pirates without rules
We are Captain Morgan’s feared and mighty crew
We’ve got hearts, we’ve got rum
Under the stars and the sun
We’re waiting for adventures to come

So raise the sails in the morning sun
The attack on Porto Bello has just begun
We will plunder, we will steal
And the Spaniards they shall kneel
Before Captain Henry Morgan’s swords of steel

So the captain gives a speech
He says “Soon, we will reach
The Spanish forts on Porto Bello beach
I’ve got silver, I’ve got gold
And the legend will be told
About my feared and mighty crew, behold!”

So raise the sails in the morning sun
The attack on Porto Bello has just begun
We will plunder, we will steal
And the Spaniards they shall kneel
Before Captain Henry Morgan’s swords of steel

On the tenth o’ July
In 1668
We take off from Orange Island, it is late
Oh corsairs ’n buccaneers,
The spaniards shall be sheared
By Captain Morgans mighty privateers

So raise the sails in the morning sun
The attack on Porto Bello has just begun
We will plunder, we will steal
And the Spaniards they shall kneel
Before Captain Henry Morgan’s swords of steel
