alestorm - the last saskatchewan pirate lyrics

[verse 1]
well, i used to be a farmer and i made a living fine
i had a little stretch of land along the cp line
but times were hard and though i tried, the money wasn’t there
and the bankers came and took my land and told me fair is fair
i looked for every kind of job, the answer always “no”
hire you now, they’d always laugh, we just let twenty go
the government, they promised me a measly little sum
but i’ve got too much pride to еnd up just another bum
then i thought who gives a d+mn if all thе jobs are gone
i’m gonna be a pirate on the river saskatchewan

[verse 2]
well you think the locals farmers would know that i’m at large
but, just the other day i found an unprotected barge
i snuck up right behind them and they were none the wiser
i rammed their ship, and sank it, and i stole their fertilizer
a bridge outside of moose jaw spans a mighty river
farmers cross in so much fear, their stomachs are a+quiver
’cause they know that captain yarrface hides inside the bay
i’ll jump the bridge and knock them cold and sail off with their hay
see alestorm live
get tickets as low as $45
[chorus]
yeah it’s a heave+ho, hi+ho
coming down the plains
stealing wheat and barley and all the other grains
and it’s a ho+hey, hi+hey
farmers bar your doors
when you see the jolly roger on regina’s mighty shores

[verse 3]
well mountie bob he chased me, he was always at my throat
he followed on the shoreline ’cause he didn’t own a boat
but cutbacks were a+coming and the mountie lost his job
so now he’s sailing with us and we call him little bob
a swingin’ sword, a skull n’ bones, and pleasant company
i never pay my income tax and screw the gst, screw it
saling down to saskatoon, the terror of the seas
if ya wanna reach the co+op, boy, you gotta get by me

[chorus]
yeah it’s a heave+ho, hi+ho
coming down the plains
stealing wheat and barley and all the other grains
and it’s a ho+hey, hi+hey
farmers bar your doors
when you see the jolly roger on regina’s mighty shores
[verse 4]
well, pirate life’s appealing, but you don’t just find it here
i hear in north alberta, there’s a band of buccaneers
they roam the athabasca, from smith to fort mckay
and you’re gonna lose your stetson if you have to pass their way
well winter is a+coming and a chill is in the breeze
our pirate days are over once the river starts to freeze
i’ll be back in springtime, but now i have to go
i hear there’s lots of plundering down in new mexico

[chorus]
yeah it’s a heave+ho, hi+ho
coming down the plains
stealing wheat and barley and all the other grains
and it’s a ho+hey, hi+hey
farmers bar your doors
when you see the jolly roger on regina’s mighty shores
cause it’s a heave+ho, hi+ho
coming down the plains
stealing wheat and barley and all the other grains
and it’s a ho+hey, hi+hey
farmers bar your doors
when you see the jolly roger on regina’s mighty shores

[outro]
yeah it’s a heave+ho, hi+ho
coming down the plains
stealing wheat and barley and all the other grains
and it’s a ho+hey, hi+hey
farmers bar your doors
when you see the jolly roger on regina’s mighty shores
when you see the jolly roger on regina’s mighty shores
when you see the jolly roger on regina’s mighty shores
regina
