Grogg Mayles

"Grogg Mayles" is a song from the soundtrack of the video game *Sea of Thieves*. It is one of the shanties playable on instruments in-game. The lyrics tell of the legendary exploits of the titular Grogg Mayles, a "particularly proficient pirate provocateur", as described on the game's Twitter account.

The Longest Johns released a music video for the song on 17 Aug 2022, filmed in-game. It has also made various livestream appearances, though it wasn't added to the official song list until the video's release.

## Lyrics

>
> There's a tale of old the sea dogs told
>
> 'Bout the most fearsome marauder
>
> He was such a brute, he'd take all your loot
>
> Then he'd sail off with your daughter
>
>
>
> Now who's this loathsome rat, ye say
>
> who sailed the seven seas?
>
> He'd take on all the merchant ships
>
> And bring them to their knees
>
>
>
> Grogg Mayles, Grogg Mayles
>
> Black-hearted to the core
>
> Grogg Mayles, Grogg Mayles
>
> The gold he did adore
>
>
>
> With a hand on the wheel and the other on his sword
>
> You'd get strung up if you glanced at his hoard
>
> Yes, he was properly hard as nails
>
> And they called him Grogg Mayles
>
>
>
> Now I get the feeling you're not hearing
>
> How frightening he would be
>
> He could skin your chest right through your vest
>
> While he cutlassed off your knees
>
>
>
> He'd plow his ship through storm and sea
>
> No other pirate dared
>
> He'd plunder all the lubber's loot
>
> No treasure chest was spared
>
>
>
> Grogg Mayles, Grogg Mayles
>
> Black-hearted to the core
>
> Grogg Mayles, Grogg Mayles
>
> Pirate provocateur
>
>
>
> Now is he dead? 'Cause we're not sure
>
> I thought I saw him at the tavern next door
>
> Yes, he is rather fond of ale
>
> And they call him Groggery Mayles
>
