TESTO DEL LIED

"Hidden Treasure"
di B. Martin

There were rubies red from Pegu,
And iv'ries from Cathay,
But they're lost and gone forever
Or so the tallies say,
When a ship was sunk at the harbour bar -
A curse on the devil of a Sharbandar!
And those rubies from Pegu
And the iv'ries of Cathay
Were stolen and hid forever
Where there ain't no light o' day,
And now none knows where them sparklers are -
A curse on the devil of a Sharbandar!
But the rubies red as blood
And the iv'ries white as bones
Have sent a score of ruffians
Along o' Davy Jones;
So stick to your ship, you jolly, jolly tar -
And curse that devil of a Sharbandar!
