The Corsairs Dark Promises

When I was a wee lad
I promised me ol' Dad
I'd take up the life of a sailor.
But its harder than hell
And it doesn't pay well
But it's kept me ahead of the jailor.

Now I'm tattered and torn
My boot heels are worn
And even my Dad wouldn't want me
And those dark promise I made in my youth
Are all comin' back to haunt me.

When I was a young boy
Me mother's pride and joy
I promised her I'd stay forever.
Now she cries everyday
That I am away
Now I'm not feelin' so clever.

Now I'm tattered and torn
My boot heels are worn
And even my Ma wouldn't want me
And those dark promise I made in my youth
Are all comin' back to haunt me.

Early in my life
I promised my new wife
That I never would leave her.
Each time I come home to stay
But I soon go away
And it breaks my heart to deceive her.

Now I'm tattered and torn
My boot heels are worn
And even my Girl wouldn't want me
And those dark promise I made in my youth
Are all comin' back to haunt me

When I was a wee beast
I promised me old priest
That I would be the Lord's winner.
But I cheat and lie
And I cause men to die
Now I'm damned to hell for a sinner.

Now I'm tattered and torn
My boot heels are worn
And even my God wouldn't want me
And those dark promise I made in my youth
Are all comin' back to haunt me

Now I'm tattered and torn
My Spirit is worn
And even the grave doesn't want me
And those dark promise I made in my youth
Are all comin' back to haunt me

And those dark promise I made in my youth
Are all comin' back to haunt me
