Thread Name: Lyr Req: Kings of the Western Ocean
Subject: Kings of the Western Ocean
This came up on a related thread, Joe was looking for why a tune was familiar, and I know the chorus to this, sort of, but no verses.
We're kings of the Western Ocean
It's plain to see we are
We've left our mark on many a barque
We stink of fish and tar
--- --- --- --- --- ---- --
When up aloft we fly
The devil take the laggards, Jack,
It's do your best or die!

Can anyone supply the rest of the words and/or tell me more about this song?
Blessings,
Barbara
