Have A Care Lyrics - Moonfleet & Other Stories - Chris De Burgh

With the voices getting nearer I knew that I had to hide, 

I got up behind a coffin, then I saw who was inside, 

By the skin and bones of Blackbeard I lay there in the dark,

"What shall we do with the boy who's hiding, 

What shall we do with the boy who's hiding,

"Lock him in the vault so he can't get out boys, 

Lock him in the vault so he can't get out boys, 

Lock him in the vault so he can't get out boys, early in the morning!"
