Gunpowder in Rum

If you steal from a thief
Are you a thief?
I don’t think so,

And if you kill a man
Who hurt your friends,
Are you damned?

And for takin things from kings,
Little things,
Are you a criminal?

And if your fever’s strong,
For women wine and song,
Are you a bad man?

(Shots!) I’m a bad man,
Yea, I’m a bad man (Shots!),
Gunpowder in rum (Shots!),
Gunpowder in rum (Shots!)

I dreamed inside a glass,
I was a bottle in the sand,
When I came crawlin,

Without a glance inside to read,
She threw me to the sea,
Love knew my callin,

Don’t weep pretty girls,
Have no fear for us lass,
The empty bottle floats,

And if your fever’s strong,
For women wine and song,
Are you a bad man?

(Shots!) I’m a bad man,
Yea, I’m a bad man (Shots!),
Gunpowder in rum (Shots!),
Gunpowder in rum (Shots!)
