Press-ganged to the King’s navy,
Half way through the voyage there was a mutiny,
Now we live by the pirate’s code,
Enjoying our share of the gold…
When capturing ships we find,
Spices and silks keep our pockets nicely lined,
So give us a jot of rum,
And we’ll jolly well roger along…
Oh, we sail the seven seas
Yes, we roam where e’r we please
For the thrill of the fight
Raiding booty day and night,
Hooks for hands, peggéd legs and skulls on hats,
Oh, we’re pirates for life only death will end that!
This life is not one of ease;
Raiding the coast makes you lots of enemies.
My crew are my faithful hands,
And we’re wanted in six different lands.
Be you slave or merchant or king,
You work for me now, your new life shall begin.
Above me there’s no higher rank;
So get scrubbing or you’ll walk the plank!
Oh, we sail the seven seas
And we roam where e’r we please
For the thrill of the fight
Raiding booty day and night,
Hooks for hands, peggéd legs and skulls on hats,
Oh, we’re pirates for life only death will end that!
And when the day is done
And the crew have had their fun,
We’ll splice the main-brace and we’ll say…
It’s a pirate’s life let’s go heave-ho!
Oh, we sail the seven seas
Yes we roam where e’r we please
For the thrill of the fight
Raiding booty day and night,
Hookéd hands, peggéd legs and skulls on hats,
Oh we’re pirates for life only death will end that!
Yes we sail the seven seas,
Oh, we roam where e’r we please,
For the thrill of the fight
Raiding booty day and night,
Tattered flags, crooked boughs and broken planks;
We’re all pirates for life only death will end that!
