Lyrics of The Devil's Son by The Jolly Rogers
verse
His name was Teach when he came to Carolina
Like a man possessed, he scoured the sea
And the Devil called him son
chorus
Blackbeard, Teach, the Demon of the Sea
Run, you sailors, run
With a beard of flame and a heart of ice
Blackbeard, the Devil's son
verse
He shot his first mate in the hold one day, he said, "I don't give a damn
If I don't kill someone now and then
You'll forget who I am"
verse
He married a girl of 15 years named Liza
From across the town they heard her scream
As he took her maidenhead
chorus
Blackbeard, Teach, the Demon of the Sea
Run, you sailors, run
With a beard of flame and a heart of ice
Blackbeard, the Devil's son
verse
Governor Spotswood cried, "I'll rid the world of Blackbeard"
A hundred pounds will buy his head
And Hell can have his soul
verse
From Portsmouth town, there sailed a man named Maynard
He did not come to save their lives
He came for bounty money
chorus
Blackbeard, Teach, the Demon of the Sea
Run, you sailors, run
With a beard of flame and a heart of ice
Blackbeard, the Devil's son
verse
Teach met his fate on the shores of Carolina
A challenge rang across the waves
"You'll dance with death today!"
verse
Sabers bit, and bullets flew, as the ships drew side by side
Blackbeard screamed like a cannon's roar
"It's a damn good day to die!"
chorus
Blackbeard, Teach, the Demon of the Sea
Run, you sailors, run
With a beard of flame and a heart of ice
Blackbeard, the Devil's son
verse
An axe, a sword, a bullet's burn, Blackbeard stood them all
He spat at his killers through broken teeth
"You'll never take me alive!"
verse
Teach is gone, and the seas are safe today
But down in Hell, the Devil's laughing
'Cause Blackbeard's home to stay
chorus
Blackbeard, Teach, the Demon of the Sea
Run, you sailors, run
With a beard of flame and a heart of ice
Blackbeard, the Devil's son
