I'm a pirate at heart. Not because I love pirates. But because I feel the call of the sea and the lust for adventure...
A pirate's life for me!
Oh there's Sober Men a Plenty and Drunkards barely 20
There are men of over 90 who have never yet kissed a girl
But give me a Rambling Rover, From Orkney down to Dover
We'll roam the Country over and Together We'll face the World
There's Many that Feign Enjoyment From Merciless Employment
And their Ambition was this deployment from the minute they Left the School
And they save and Scrape and ponder, while the rest go out and squander
See the world and Rove and wander, and are Happier as a Rule
Kind friends and Companions, Come join me in ryme,
Come lift up your voices in chorus with mine
Let us drink and Be Merry all grief to refrain,
For we may or might never all meet here again
So here's a health to the wee lass that I love so well
for style and for beauty, there's none can excell
There's a smile on her countenance as she sits on my knee
Sure there's no-one in the wide world, as happy as me
My ship lies at harbor, she's ready to dock,
I wish her safe landing without any shock
And if I ever we meet again by land or by sea
I will always remember your kindness to me
My footsteps may falter, my wit it might fail,
My course may be challenged by a November gale
And if Fortune shall prove to be friend or be foe
You will Always be with me, Wherever I go
So Here's a Health to the All of you if I've named you not
Do not think for a Moment it's because you're forgot
I will Treasure the Memories as I call you my friend
And I hope that one day very soon, We'll all meet again
So here's a health to the Company and one for my lass
Let us drink and be Merry all out of one glass
Let us drink and be Merry all Grief to Refrain
For we may or might never, all meet here again
