Have you ever been a sailin' <br />Across the deep blue sea <br />The greenhorn's they be ailin' <br />That went to sea with me <br /> <br />Searchin' my sea for plunder <br />Ships will try to run from me <br />Just hear my cannon thunder <br />When they attempt to flee <br /> <br />We prey upon unlucky fools <br />Who cross our path at sea <br />Women, coin, fantastic jewels <br />Now they all belong to me! <br /> <br />The ports all know our name <br />And they hate to see us leave <br />We revel in our outlaw fame <br />For us there's no reprieve! <br /> <br />Until they catch & hang me <br />From yonder gallows tree <br />I say yo ho me fellow matey <br />It's a pirate's life for me! ! <br /> <br />Barry Jablonski <br />©2014 All Rights Reserved<br /><br />Barry Jablonski<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-pirates-life-2/
