Pirate 6 - Hurricane
quatern
Upon ya’ like a hurricane
Commissioned by me Letters Marque
A Privateer, I’m on campaign
To claim yer booty, and yer barque!
My Jamaica sloop be fast
Upon ya’ like a hurricane
I’ll warn ya’ with one cannon blast
a’fore I fire demastin’ chain!
Yer passengers and crew be slain
Bar comely girls, I’ll strip and save
Upon ya’ like a hurricane
Despoiled and sold as parlor slaves!
Privateer or Pirate, me?
It matters not, if you be slain
Enslaved, or starvin’ on some Cay
Upon ya’ like a hurricane!
Upon ya’ like a hurricane
Commissioned by me Letters Marque
A Privateer, I’m on campaign
To claim yer booty, and yer barque!
My Jamaica sloop be fast
Upon ya’ like a hurricane
I’ll warn ya’ with one cannon blast
a’fore I fire demastin’ chain!
Yer passengers and crew be slain
Bar comely girls, I’ll strip and save
Upon ya’ like a hurricane
Despoiled and sold as parlor slaves!
Privateer or Pirate, me?
It matters not, if you be slain
Enslaved, or starvin’ on some Cay
Upon ya’ like a hurricane!
