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.^[1]

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
