In days of old, when ships were bold |
|
Just like the men who sailed them |
|
and if they showed us disrespect |
|
we'd tie them up and flail them |
|
often men of low degree |
|
and often men of steel |
|
who'd make you walk the plank alone |
|
or haul you 'round the keel |
|
hoist the Jolly Roger! |
|
hoist the Jolly Roger! |
|
hoist the Jolly Roger! |
|
it's your money that we want |
|
and your money we shall have! |
|
of all the pirates on the seas |
|
the worst of them was Blackbeard |
|
so damnable a fiend from hell |
|
he was the one they most feared |
|
any man who sailed with him |
|
was taking quite a chance |
|
he'd hang them from the gallows |
|
just to see if they could dance (ha! ha!) |
