marc gunn - our pirate crew of ten lyrics

Loading...

1, 2, and 1 makes three
4, 5, and 5 again
we’re heading off to sea once more
our pirate crew of ten

barney the mate weighs a good dozen stone
and his cutlass is polished and sharp
he went to school for four years
and he’s good with the shears
if yer pig+tail is needin’ a crop

davy the cabin boy’s not quite thirteen
but he’s a pirate despite through and through
he’s the best thief i know
and the wine it does flow
if davy’s been down at the dock

ol’ doc malloy’s been at sea since a boy
and he wears a fine doublet of red
there’s no one at sea
finer surgeon than he
if your limbs have occasion to rot

and billy o’doul is a bit of a rake
who flirts with the women in town
he’s a dandy in dress
but i have to confess
he’s a good man when fightin’s around
patty the cook is a belfast man born
and he’ll never let any forget
but he makes a fine stew
with an onion or two
any time there is more than just fish

we are god+fearin’ men led by ol’ father brown
who looks t’other way when it’s best
he prays for our souls
from the depths to the shoals
and his sermon’s too good to be missed

there are twins pete and dan
who no one can tell one from t’other
they don’t seem to mind—
when they get in a bind—
‘tis likely the culprit’s his brother

the bosun tom jenkins is clever no doubt
with a tongue like a fine silver flute
he’s a sweet+talkin’ man
and he does what he can
to keep us all out of the stocks

and then there is me, cap’t black jack murphy
a sea+dog who knows how to howl
with my crew at my back
there is never a lack
of adventure and freedom and gold
