lyrics

No Meaner Man

Well I left home at the age of ten
I sailed the seven seas
Press-ganged a board a ship
Of the Royal Navy
I climbed the masts
I swabbed the decks
I worked as a powder monkey
- Loaded every cannon with a message
For Napoleon (Na-pol-eon)
--------
I have served the King and I won’t
Be a slave to NO meaner man (no-meaner-man)
--------
Well my ship went down by the coast of Spain
I swam a shore and my luck did change
I met a Bella Senorita
But I had to run
When the Frenchman came
--------
I have served the King and
I won’t be a slave to NO meaner man (no-meaner-man)

So, this is my message to you Governor,
I hope you understand (un-der-stand)
--------
When I got back to England
I could not get no job
They’d taxed the land and river
Every fish in the sea
--------
I bought myself a gun
I took to the highway (high-way)

So this is my message to you Governor,
It’s written down in blood (written-down-in-blood)

I have served the King and I won’t
Be a slave to NO meaner man
NO meaner man
