Lyrics

Life Of A Pirate
Lyrics by Michelle & Justin Martin, Music by Jimmy Peterson

He would come, he would go, leave me alone for the sea.
He would flee he is a pirate. He longs to be on his ship
where he’s free. La da da dee. He is a pirate.
His true love was the ship and the sea and the
treasure he seeks was not me.
As I walk on the shore, he drifts away,
I hear the melody of his guitar.
His true love was the ship and the sea and
the treasure he seeks was not me.
He would come, I would go, leave him alone,
I would flee. Playing the songs
I sing of sorrow.
He would dance, he would sing,
(Yo ho ho and)
Chanting on the haunted sea.
(a bottle of rum)
Tis good to be free. Life of a pirate.
(that’s what makes my weekend fun)
He raised his rum sailing on the galley.
(Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum)
La la da dee. He is a pirate.
(That’s what I drink when my week is done)
But his true love was the ship and the sea and
the treasure he seeks was not me.
He would come, he would go,
(Yo ho ho)
leave me alone for the sea.
(I’ve got 151)
Never return to me.
(One more bottle)
He was a pirate.
(I am a Pirate)
