Warm Caribbean winds filled up our sails of black - We stole what we could - gave em' nothin' back
Pirates were we all, upon the Briney Deep - Pillaged the seven seas for all that we could reap

Our ship a mighty vessel- surroundings picturesque - Poetic juxtaposition to our crew so grotesque
Lived the Corsairs code, unyielding and crude - Anyone who broke it - keel-hauled and fish food

My heart was not content to an intolerable degree
For I loved the Cap'ns daughter - fairest maiden of the sea

That's the reason why I am a Brethren of the Coast - Other mates were lustful went to the whipping post
The captain a fearsome tyrant - scurvy dog at his best - Cutlass on his side, musket at his breast

In a seeming lapse of reason, I begged his daughter's hand - Faced the rum runners wrath - prepared to take a stand
Yo-ho-ho howled captain with a mighty laugh - A chorus of jeers followed from his motley staff

My heart was not content to an intolerable degree - For I loved the Cap'ns daughter - fairest maiden of the sea
Winds filled up our sails; her smile filled me with glee - For I loved the Cap'ns daughter - fairest maiden of the sea

Cap'n said:
"I'll have your lights and liver if that be the case - I'll nare give up my daughter. Knave, know your place
Or walk the plank ye will - if for five year you tread water - Upon my return you can then wed my daughter"

"I love him, too!" cried the maiden, "Poppa Don't be cruel" - "Blimey," said the Captain "Then he'll face me in a duel"
Sabres crossed in combat; to wed that's what it took - That's why I now live with a peg leg and a hook

My heart was not content to an intolerable degree
For I loved the Cap'ns daughter - fairest maiden of the sea
Winds filled up our sails; her smile filled me with glee
For I loved the Cap'ns daughter - fairest maiden of the sea
