Question:

Hoist the colours?

Does anyone know the lyrics for the song Hoist the colours from Pirates Of The Caribbean 3?I know the first few lines from watching the film;The king and his men,stole the queen from her bed.And bound her in her bones,the seas be ours,and by the powers,where we will, we'll roam.YoHo all handshoist the colours highHeave Ho thieves and beggersnever shall we dieGood song ennit? what are the rest of the words though?Anyone know the meaning too? I'm pretty sure it tells the story of the first court and how they bound calypso.?? :)

Answer:

it is the story of how they bound calypso and sort of foreshadows the rest of the movie
Yo, ho, haul together, hoist the colors high. Heave ho, thieves and beggars, never shall we die. The king and his men stole the queen from her bed and bound her in her Bones. The seas be ours and by the powers where we will we'll roam. Yo, ho, haul together, hoist the colors high. Heave ho, thieves and beggars, never shall we die. Some men have died and some are alive and others sail on the sea – with the keys to the cage... and the Devil to pay we lay to Fiddler's Green! The bell has been raised from it's watery grave... Do you hear it's sepulchral tone? We are a call to all, pay head the squall and turn your sail toward home! Yo, ho, haul together, hoist the colors high. Heave ho, thieves and beggars, never shall we die.
