Brigantine*
Tired of talking and arguing
And love tired eyes ...
In the far blue sea of Filibusters
The brigantine raises the sails ...
Captain, weathered like rocks,
Went out to sea, without waiting for us.
Raise your glasses just to wave goodbye to him
With a gold and tart wine.
We drink for the rampageous, for the rebellious,
For those who despise pennie's worth of comfort.
It winds in the wind "Jolly Roger"
Flint people sing a little song.
And in trouble, and in joy, and in grief,
Just a little squint of the eye -
In the far blue sea of Filibusters
Brigantine raises the sails.
