The Ghosts of the Black Lagoon (A Halloween Sea Shanty) Lyrics

Yo ho yo ho when the moon is high

The ghosts of the deep come a-sailin' by

With bones so cold and eyes so bright

They haunt the seas on Halloween night!

Heave-ho lads and sing it loud

The shadows dancin' in the shroud!

Raise your glass to the ghastly crew

The ghosts of the Black Lagoon!

Their sails are tattered their ship's long gone

But still they sail where the wind blows strong

Their captain's grin is a hollow sight

He steers their course by the pale moonlight!

Heave-ho lads and sing it loud

The shadows dancin' in the shroud!

Raise your glass to the ghastly crew

The ghosts of the Black Lagoon!

Beware the bell when it starts to toll

It calls to claim a sailor's soul

They'll pull you down with icy hands

And drag you to their ghostly lands!

Heave-ho lads and sing it loud

The shadows dancin' in the shroud!

Raise your glass to the ghastly crew

The ghosts of the Black Lagoon!

So when you sail on a haunted sea

Listen close for the wailing breeze

For every night when the stars are few

The ghosts of the Black Lagoon sail through!

Heave-ho lads and sing it loud

The shadows dancin' in the shroud!

Raise your glass to the ghastly crew

The ghosts of the Black Lagoon!

Heave-ho lads and sing it loud

The shadows dancin' in the shroud!

Raise your glass to the ghastly crew

The ghosts of the Black Lagoon!

Heave-ho lads and sing it loud

The shadows dancin' in the shroud!

Raise your glass to the ghastly crew

The ghosts of the Black Lagoon!
