[00:24.72]	In the company of thieves I set out for the plunder
[00:32.36]	In search of adventure and tender in years
[00:40.05]	I threw in my lot and was cast asunder
[00:50.48]	And joined with the last of the privateers
[00:56.86]
[01:01.67]	Mexican gold and rum from Jamaica
[01:08.61]	To the isle of Bermuda to wait out the year
[01:16.11]	Then south round the Horn and the Devil can take her
[01:26.54]	It was all in a day for a privateer
[01:32.44]
[01:44.94]	I took no advance in pay or promotion
[01:52.63]	And squandered my share until it was gone
[01:59.94]	I answered to no man whatever his station
[02:10.06]	And lived out a dream to follow the sun
[02:15.88]
[02:20.12]	For those dark-skinned beauties my heart is still yearning
[02:27.62]	With a smile for a rogue they woule sing us ashore
[02:34.94]	With wine and strong liquor and young blood a'burning 还
[02:45.37]	I would give up a ransom to see them once more
[02:51.18]
[03:03.68]	I'll ship on board a Nantucket Trader
[03:11.00]	And follow the course whichever she steers
[03:18.49]	South to the Indies by chance to Bermuda
[03:28.56]	And I'll bid farewell to the privateers
[03:34.56]
[03:38.80]	Be cheery my friends and don't be down-hearted
[03:45.80]	Drink a health to the man who throws away cares
[03:53.18]	Lift your glass and be merry before we are parted
[04:03.49]	Bid adieu to the last of the privateers
[04:09.68]
[04:48.61]	Strike up a fiddle if you've a notion
[04:55.92]	And lay me down easy under the stars
[05:02.73]	Give me up to the deep of a dark rolling ocean
[05:13.05]	Say farewell to the last of the privateers
[05:18.98]

[00:24.72]	In the company of thieves I set out for the plunder
