The Rusty Anchor The Siren of the Dusty Tavern

I sold my soul for a bottle of gin
In a harbor of shadows and original sin
She sat by the barrel, a tail on the floor
The strangest creature I ever saw. So strange
Her voice was a cello, her eyes were a trap
She pulled a gold coin from her velvet cap
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Drink till you’re dead, or you’re ready to swim! Hey!
The sea is a mistress, cold and grim!
With a Spanish guitar and an Irish soul
We’re dancing a jig in a black bottom hole! Ha-ha!

She dragged me down to the docks in the night
The moon was a witness, bloody and bright! Rrr-ha!
My father’s a shark and my mother’s a gale
I’ll wrap you, my lover, in my silver tail!
The Spanish guitar played a song of the fire
While cello was humming the funeral choir! Hey!

A bottle of gin
And a skeleton's grin
