Chorus:
Come along (come along) ye sailor lads for tonight we eat well
Drink it down (drink it down) for there's lot of grog, it does the trick but it burns like hell
Step it up (step it up) or we'll be late, and the Captain will be sore
Come along (come along) ye say lye are's for tonight we're bound for shore
Heave and ho, a whaa a way eh oh
We've sailed the main and with it came 40 days at sea
Hard tack, jerky and pickled eggs, nothing more to eat
There once was a time I remember it well, when I was seventeen
What was I thinking when I said "A pirates life for me"
(This sucks!)
(Chorus Repeat:)
With midday comes a blistering sun which lowers our moral
And the evenings are freezing, oh I want to go home right now
From the nest I see land, hey Captain, "Land Ho!"
And the Captain screams a bellowing, "Hard to port mates!"
(Lets go!)
(Chorus Repeat:)
For twenty six years I've been here, a sailor tried and true
I've seen everything that a man can see, now I'm showing it all to you
A third generation pirates son, me pappy taught me all I need to know
And once you get in there's no getting out - you go wherever the wind dost blow
