Pirate Man

Genre: Folk

Lyrics

Verse 1

He’s a pirate man
with a patch on one eye
tease him all you want
but he never will cry

He carry’s quite an odor
you can say he’s rank
but never to his face
or you’ll walk the plank

Verse 2

He’s got Polly on his shoulder
who always wants a cracker
A cook in the galley
who also is his banker

He’s got a lazy crew
but they know just what to do
for when the captain’s mad
they sing a song or two

Chorus 1

He’s got a peg for a leg
and a hook for a hand
you can search all you want
but he’s never on dry land

He’s a scallywag who knows
just what his niche is
a mean old bugger
have you swimin’ with the fishes…Argh!!

Verse 3

No sense of humor
he’s a cloudy sky
no Peter Pan gonna
change this guy

As a terror of the sea
he’s just first rate
the sort of fella
you just love to hate

Verse 4

It’s a dangerous profession
better watch your step
or you’ll make your acquaintance
with the oceans depth

If your swinging from the crows nest
then with death you flirt
it’s all fun and games
until someone get’s hurt!

Chorus 2

You’ll have a peg for a leg
and a hook for a hand
they can search all they want
but your never on dry land

A scallywag
Who knows just what your niche is
a mean old bugger
have em swimin’ with the fishes…Argh!!

Repeat,first Verse…

He’s a pirate man
with a patch on one eye
tease him all you want
but he never will cry

He carry’s quite an odor
you can say he’s rank
but never to his face
or you’ll walk the plank…Argh!!
