Fingers Crossed Ian Hunter & The Rant Band

[Verse 1]
I was pressed into service through no fault of my own
I was dragged from the gutter by nefarious rogues
I don't like to dwell upon what happened to me
From the land of the living to the land of the lost
Just a pawn in the system, woh-oh, got my fingers crossed
Yeah

[Verse 2]
I've seen skulls, I've seen crossbones as near as I can see you
I felt the cold cloak of terror, the fog and grog got us through
Pirate or privateer, I am both am I not?
In a land unforgiving from the land of the lost
With my fate in the balance, woh-oh, and my fingers crossed
Well

[Bridge]
Hang me high, hang me high, boys
Hang me high, hang me high, boys
Hang me high, hang me high, boys
Hang me high, hang me high, boys
Yeah, woh

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
I have danced with the elements on the South China Sea
I've seen gold, I've seen silver, the fruits of our victories
Guilty or innocent, I ask this because
On the steps of the scaffold, am I now to be lost?
So I make my confession, woh-oh, with my fingers crossed
Yeah
