Jolly Rodger

My momma said:
"Dead men don't tell no tales son.
Don't listen to the siren song.
Stay away from the rocky coast -
I don't want to meet your ghost."

...and I said:
"Oh momma don't you worry now.
...escaped the gallows more than God's allowed,
and I don't fear him.
No I don't fear him."

Set sail across the seven seas.
I left my home to feel this breeze.
Clutch your pearls,
it's all black leather and black magic.
A pirate's life for me.

I met a voodoo lady, she said:
"Oh boy I could make you happy.
I've got just what you need for those blisters on your feet.
Something to fix the salt that you bleed.
I've got a chest of gold of which stories were told.
But beware, if you stick with me, you could never be free.

Set sail across the seven seas.
I left my home to feel this breeze.
Clutch your pearls,
it's all black leather and black magic.
A pirate's life for me
