Salty Dog Lyrics

I'll wait for you till I turn blue

Don't get your bollocks in a twist
Settle down, don't take a fit
Ya drank with demons straight form Hell
They almost nearly won as well
Ya wiped the floor with...

    Maybe it’s about a pirate who rises from Hell, rejoins his crew, and dies—starting the cycle over again. What an adventurous cycle if the lyrics are taken literally

    This tune is Flogging Molly's interpretation on the tune "The Kesh Jig"

    They added their own lyrics that is about being a lost pirate going out to sea then ending up being hanged.

    The first interpretation hit the nail on the head, but there's gotta be more to it than that. maybe it means if your a pirate, you have a really rough life.
