the pirates lament
last of the pirates we!
heave ho, me hearties, sail hell's fiery sea
say farewell to mothers, lovers and lies,
God cursed us all, last of the pirates we!
...
step lively mates! spread canvas till thy see
sails billowing with wind in clear blue skies,
heave ho, me hearties, sail hell's fiery sea.
...
scurvy sailors all, we'll rob and rake thee
quake, mangy curs, when grappling hooks surprise,
God cursed us all, last of the pirates we!
...
the skull and crossbones, the last thing thy’ll see
bloody cutlass', pistols cock'd and primed,
heave ho, me hearties, sail hell's fiery sea.
...
'tween sea and world's edge with never a plea
our ships defy cannon's mighty broadsides,
God cursed us all, last of the pirates we!
...
till ships o' the line lure, outgunned times three
and we burn, watching our smoke fill the skies.
heave ho, me hearties, sail hell's fiery sea
God cursed us all, last of the pirates we!
