Port Royale they got Morgan And Carolina's they got Teach And in the channel of Kingston Bay We got a ship called the Devil’s Reach She had forty seven cannon On deck had 14 guns And at the wheel was Big Tom Cutter Who was a noble’s bastard son
The locals all new better They all knew to stay away And if you passed and listen close You could have heard them say
{Chorus} You should have turned back sooner 'Cause the Reach it owns this bay And you can’t out run her and you can’t outgun her And you know you’re gonna pay!
From Brighton sailed a gunship And with them sailed four more Said: We’re sailin’ down to Kingston bay Gonna settle us a score! The ships they were all loaded And they were searching for their prize They’d collect the bounty on the Devil’s Reach And cut big Tom down to size
The sun it was a setting When they slunk into the bay And in the dark felt their skin crawl As they heard the locals say
{Chorus} You should have turned back sooner 'Cause the Reach it owns this bay And you can’t out run her and you can’t outgun her And you know you’re gonna pay!
Well the five ships they were ready Just waiting for first light With a single shot knew they’d been caught And the Reach began the fight It was a moonless night in august And darkness filled that bay But the cannon fire from those tall ships Turned that dark night into day
Now the Reach it was surrounded There was surely no way out But who was trapped became quite clear When they heard Tom Cutter shout
{Chorus} You should have turned back sooner 'Cause the Reach it owns this bay And you can’t out run her and you can’t outgun her And you know you’re gonna pay!
After dawn the Reach it broke off Turned slowly towards the shore That gun ship slipped beneath the waves Where it joined the other four Her sails were ripped and shredded Her mast just shards of wood And on that shattered, burning deck Big Tom Cutter stood
He steered her toward the nearest shore Not sure if he’d succeed But there it sits this very day With a wooden sign that reads
You should have turned back sooner 'Cause the Reach it owns this bay And you can’t out run her and you can’t outgun her And you know you’re gonna pay And you can’t out run her and you can’t outgun her And you know you’re gonna pay!

Marty Robbins - El Paso https://youtu.be/zWm5WErkffQ
Out in the west Texas town of El Paso I fell in love with a Mexican girl. Nighttime would fine me in Rosa's Cantina, Music would play and Felina would whirl.
Black as the night were the eyes of Felina, Wicked and evil while casting a spell. My love was strong for this Mexican maiden, I was in love, but in vain I could tell.
One night a wild young cowboy came in, wild as the west Texas wind... Dashing and daring, a drink he was sharing, With wicked Felina, the girl that I love.
So in anger I challenged his right for the love of this maiden; Down went his hand for the gun that he wore. My challenge was answered, in less than a heartbeat The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor.
Just for a moment I stood there in silence, Shocked by the foul evil deed I had done. Many thoughts ran through my mind as I stood there; I had but one chance and that was to run.
Out through the back door of rose's I ran, out where the horses were tied I picked a good one; he looked like he could run, Up on his back and away I did ride.
Just as fast as I could from the west Texas town of El Paso, Out through the badlands of New Mexico. Back in El Paso my life would be worthless; Everything's gone in life nothing is left.
But it's been so long since I've seen the young maiden, My love is stronger that my fear of death. I saddled up and away I did go, riding alone in the dark... Maybe tomorrow a bullet may find me, Tonight nothing's worse than this pain in my heart.
And as last here I am on the hill overlooking El Paso, I can see Rosa's Cantina below. My love is strong and it pushes me onward, down off the hill to Felina I go.
Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys, Off to my left ride a dozen or more. Shouting and shooting; I can't let them catch me, I've got to make it to rose's back door.
Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel A deep burning pain in my side. Though I am trying to stay in the saddle, I'm getting weary, unable to ride. But my love for Felina is strong and I writhe where I've fallen. Though I am weary, I can't stop to rest
I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle, I feel the bullet go deep in my chest. From out of nowhere, Felina has found me, Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side. Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for, One little kiss and Felina good-bye.
Thank you, Corbeil. Memories of a more carefree time. No cell phones snapping pictures, beautiful girls free of tattoos, no one upset about about a flag on display, just happy music fans enjoying a concert...

Hello, West Pacific! It's been a while since we posted a song for karaoke Fridays, so we hope you are well. Please accept our song contribution. It's Jelena Kostov with her song, "Nisam Bila Spremna," which translated means, "I Wasn't Ready."
We hope you enjoy!
Follow along with the song on YouTube and the translated lyrics below:
https://youtu.be/htr0Yhxshok
Mislila sam da ludim - I thought I was going crazy
Kad sam je s tobom videla - When I saw her with you
Ti si jadan, o, Bože - Oh my God, you're miserable
A njena gluma je tako jeftina - And her acting's so cheap
Nikakvih dodirnih tačaka nemamo - We don't have any points of contact
Čime te privukla - What attracted you to her
Ona je poznata samo po tome - She's only known for
S kim je sve spavala - The number of people she's slept with
Nisam bila spremna na takav prizor - I wasn't ready for such a sight
Ležerno tvoja ruka preko njenih nogu - Casually, your hand was placed over her legs
Tad više nisam mogla da ćutim - Then, I could no longer remain silent
I rekla sam glasno - And I said aloud
Morate li javno, nađite sobu - If you must go public, find a room
Nisam bila spremna na takav prizor - I wasn't ready for such a sight
Ležerno tvoja ruka preko njenih nogu - Casually, your hand was placed over her legs
Tad više nisam mogla da ćutim - Then, I could no longer remain silent
I rekla sam glasno - And I said aloud
Morate li javno, nađite sobu - If you must go public, find a room
Mislila sam da ludim - I thought I was going crazy
Kad sam je s tobom videla - When I saw her with you
Njen je život afera - Her life's an affair
I prepun je tajnih večera - And full of secret dinners
Dok je gutaš pogledom, predstava konačno - As you swallow her with your eyes, the show finally
Epilog svoj dobija - Gets its epilogue
Ne zaslužuješ bolje - You don't deserve better
Uz najgoreg ide najgora - With the worst comes the worst
Nisam bila spremna na takav prizor - I wasn't ready for such a sight
Ležerno tvoja ruka preko njenih nogu - Casually, your hand was placed over her legs
Tad više nisam mogla da ćutim - Then, I could no longer remain silent
I rekla sam glasno - And I said aloud
Morate li javno, nađite sobu - If you must go public, find a room
Nisam bila spremna na takav prizor - I wasn't ready for such a sight
Ležerno tvoja ruka preko njenih nogu - Casually, your hand was placed over her legs
Tad više nisam mogla da ćutim - Then, I could no longer remain silent
I rekla sam glasno - And I said aloud
Morate li javno, nađite sobu - If you must go public, find a room
Nisam bila spremna na takav prizor - I wasn't ready for such a sight
Ležerno tvoja ruka preko njenih nogu - Casually, your hand was placed over her legs
Tad više nisam mogla da ćutim - Then, I could no longer remain silent
I rekla sam glasno - And I said aloud
Morate li javno, nađite sobu - If you must go public, find a room
Nisam bila spremna na takav prizor - I wasn't ready for such a sight
Ležerno tvoja ruka preko njenih nogu - Casually, your hand was placed over her legs
Tad više nisam mogla da ćutim - Then, I could no longer remain silent
I rekla sam glasno - And I said aloud
Morate li javno, nađite sobu - If you must go public, find a room
Morate li javno, nađite sobu - If you must go public, find a room
I seem to be late. I've been focused on a project that peaked my interest this week. But of course, I can't forget Friday.
"Rock And Roll" - Led Zepplin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbW5K2F1N28
It's been a long time since I rock-and-rolled It's been a long time since I did the Stroll Ooh, let me get it back, let me get it back Let me get it back, baby, where I come from
It's been a long time, been a long time Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time
Yes, it has
It's been a long time since The Book of Love I can't count the tears of a life with no love Carry me back, carry me back Carry me back, baby, where I come from Whoa, whoa, oh
It's been a long time, been a long time Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time
Oh! Seems so long since we walked in the moonlight Making vows that just can't work right Oh yeah, open your arms, opens your arms Open your arms, baby, let my love come running in! Yeah!
It's been a long time, been a long time Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time Ooh yeah, ooh yeah Ooh yeah, ooh yeah It's been a long time, been a long time Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time
Say it again Heart of stone Red on your face So alone Say it again I'll know it's you God only knows Why do lies about this girl bother you? Time is waiting to explain, Why refuse? It's you
Say it again Heart of sand Tears on your face Nothing stands God only knows I've noticed you Say it again Why do lies about this girl bother you? Time is waiting to explain, Why refuse? It's you
It's you, It's you, It's you
Say it again I know It's you God only knows Why do lies about this girl bother you? Tired of waiting to explain. why refuse? It's you
I forgot to post this yesterday, so I'm posting it now. I live up to my label as the TWP Captain Slow by doing this. In reference to my ancestry, time for something completely different.
Amhrán na bhFiann (the original) - Patrick Heeney [music], Peadar Kearney [English lyrics], Liam Ó Rinn [Gaelic Irish lyrics] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OetAvMnzO_k
We'll sing a song, a soldier's song With cheering, rousing chorus As round our blazing fires we throng The starry heavens o'er us Impatient for the coming fight And as we wait the morning's light Here in the silence of the night We'll chant a soldier's song!
Soldiers are we, whose lives are pledged to Ireland, Some have come from a land beyond the wave, Sworn to be free, no more our ancient sireland, Shall shelter the despot or the slave. Tonight we man the bearna bhaoil, In Erin's cause, come woe or weal, 'Mid cannons' roar and rifles' peal, We'll chant a soldier's song!
In valley green, or towering crag Our fathers fought before us And conquered 'neath the same old flag That's proudly floating o'er us We're children of a fighting race That never yet has known disgrace And as we march, the foe to face We'll chant a soldier's song!
Soldiers are we, whose lives are pledged to Ireland, Some have come from a land beyond the wave, Sworn to be free, no more our ancient sireland, Shall shelter the despot or the slave. Tonight we man the bearna bhaoil, In Erin's cause, come woe or weal, 'Mid cannons' roar and rifles' peal, We'll chant a soldier's song!
Sons of the Gael! Men of the Pale! The long-watched day is breaking The serried ranks of Innisfail Shall set the tyrant quaking Our camp fires now are burning low See in the east a silv'ry glow Out yonder waits the Saxon foe So chant a soldier's song!
Soldiers are we, whose lives are pledged to Ireland, Some have come from a land beyond the wave, Sworn to be free, no more our ancient sireland, Shall shelter the despot or the slave. Tonight we man the bearna bhaoil, In Erin's cause, come woe or weal, 'Mid cannons' roar and rifles' peal, We'll chant a soldier's song!
