Big John Grey ballad

There's a good ship on the eastern coast //
They call it the Black and Filthy Ghost //
it sailed for England -- sailed for Spain//
they say she'll never sail  again//
 but I seen her I did, just last night //
 a flicker in the dark, in the deep old light //
I seen the big ship// a sailing down //
under the ocean without a sound //

Oh oh the black and filthy ghost //
the crew so wicked , more evil than most //
 look at her sail so high and low //
sailing to the worlds we will never knowwww

The captain they call, "Big John Grey" //
 he's killed a million men, he kills more every day ////
 He carries a big blade, they say "the devils knife" //
 And it aint for No king that he'll take a Life //
 Ah the good captain, hear him scream and shout!! //
 When the whales and the sharks are swimmin all about //
Good blue water, good black waves //
Throws the Kings men to watery graves
