The Ballad of Captain Robert (Deluxe Edition)

Lyrics

[1.] Captain Robert took his men
 And flew to Prague and back again
 Some fell off and some dropped dead
 And some put bullets through their head
 [2.] A skeleton crew is what came back
 And once in port he filled his sack
 With bribes and cash and fame and coin
 Things to make a new crew join
 [3.] Captain Robert took his crew
 To Shangri-la and Timbuktu
 Some went crazy, some got mad
 Some he kicked off ship in Chad
 [4.] A skeleton crew is what came back
 Who'd lived through mutiny, plague, and flak
 Strong and calloused, brave and tired
 All those who could stay inspired
 [5.] Captain Robert took his ship
 To Beijing and to Mozambique
 Stir crazy or in irons he clapped them
 One of them tried to kiss the captain
 [6.] Captain Robert looked at his crew
 And saw that everyone was new
 The crew got broke through misadventure
 No one could take another gut wrencher
