A Pirate's Tale
Jacques the pirate roams the sea
With his mateys brave.
Weaving tales of death and woe-
He is a dastardly knave.
Lusty women, barroom brawls-
Jacques strikes a devilish pose-
He is a dastardly knave-
Weaving tales of death and woe.
Pirate's booty; fights at sea,
Enemies chained in caves.
Weaving tales of death and woe,
He is a dastardly knave.
High sea chases-walk the plank!
No mercy for his foes.
He is a dastardly knave-
Weaving tales of death and woe.
Master of his pirate ship-
Riding high upon the waves.
Weaving tales of death and woe,
He is a dastardly knave.
Not for him the simple life.
For adventure, he doth go.
He is a dastardly knave-
Weaving tales of death and woe.
Then one day the hangman's noose
Found Jacques and his mateys brave.
He weaved tales of death and woe-
He was a dastardly knave.
