lyrics

You were caught in May upon the deck,
with Captains purse around your neck.
Pockets full and foul when checked,
so you'll kiss the gunners daughter.

You'd enlisted down in Autumn Bay,
where you drank and lied about your age,
and you signed your life and soul away,
and now you'll kiss the gunners daughter.

So away my lad, your fate is clear,
you've stolen coin for near a year,
and its time that you, should shed a tear,
so you'll kiss the gunners daughter.

I could hear them shout and curse my name,
whiskey throats, to-the-brim-with blame,
and I wondered if they'd risk the same,
when I kissed the gunners daughter.

And-so -I-sat in fear of the Bosun's yell,
and I shook and prayed within my cell,
for I knew I now, would go to hell,
when I kissed the gunners daughter.

ahhhh, ahhhh-ahhhh

When the hour arrived, I was called on deck,
My hands were tied , likewise my legs,
but I swore to never weep nor beg,
and I kissed the gunners daughter.
