The Long Lost Ruby

Cat O' Nine Tails

All that world could give us we had
Except for one
The most shiny gemstone
Red as the evening Sun

It was not meant for us
We knew it well
After we weighted anchor
The ocean started to swell

In the days of yore
We had a map and an old lore
And we wanted some more
So, from your calm shore
We started our quest for

The long lost ruby
The finest booty, soon its mine
I can't keep my eyes off its marvellous shine

The long lost ruby
Where's your booty there's your heart
After you die what's it that you've got?

We steered our boat towards
The red mark on the map
We didn't see it coming, but
It was a trap

So we left our boat
To have a share
As we came back to coast
It wasn't there

In the days of yore
We had a map and an old lore
And we wanted some more
So, from your calm shore
We started our quest for

The long lost ruby
The finest booty, soon its mine
I can't keep my eyes off its marvelous shine

The long lost ruby
Where's your booty there's your heart
After you die what's it that you've got?
