Me father was a pirate
No land 'uld he call his own
He roamed the seas alive and frees
On tha ship he called his home

Me father was a pirate
the best saylor I knew
t'was rough as stone with a nasty tone
but I loved him through and through

Me father was a pirate
he killed a many a man
but that how it is he says to me
when you live from mouth to hand

Me father was a pirate
ended swingin' from the gallows
and now I fear none'll shed a tear
when in his steps I follows

Me father was a pirate
taught me everything I know
and know I wait to meet my fate
pray my soul to god I owe
