jolly rogers








My Love By Sea













SultryRose's Signatures






There were jolly rogers at Poole quay many years ago
when hearties sang those pirate dirges and had lots of rum on stow
there were cannons in the galleries and contraband to store
there were flags a top the galleons then and wenches on the shores

those rogers boys they did sail ships
they decked the ships of surfing blue
they traveled o'er the rolling waves
from Bristol up to Poole

the smugglers haunts were rich in tea and many kinds of shag
upon the shores of lulworth cove where country folk would brag
the king of pirates sailed the seas and prospered on his gain
whilst woodes the captain sailed these lands to there and back again

from Poole side docks where merchant men sold rope and fish
Newfoundland was rich in gain when rogers sailed the seven seas
from docks and back again

the jolly roger blew that day and the wind was all in gain
whilst sailor men and ladies fair sailed the Spanish main
all pirates bold and stories told from Poole and back again

the rogers clan was set to gain a place in history
from woodes great crews and sailors blue
who sailed the ships of poole
fame in history's great books from Poole to Timbuktu
