We were sailing on a stormy sea Wishing we were back ashore on Tahiti Captain Bligh wouldn't let us be Treat people like shit And that's what you get Captain was a hard man He was asking for it So we put him in a lifeboat And said goodbye
You're a hell of a guy Captain Bligh
Somehow he survived to govern Sydney town Said he'd bring the liquor trade down Seems things turned out The other way round The officers were pissed On rum and rebellion Sent the troops to expel him Said that he hid under his bed
You're a hell of a guy Governor Bligh
Lightning strikes not once but twice Lightening strikes
Treat people like shit And that's what you get You're a hell of a guy Mr Bligh
*Ok, this song is about the guy who goes down in the history books for having suffered mutiny on both land and sea…Mr Bligh
