"The king and his men
stole the queen from her bed
and bound her in her bones
the seas be ours
and by the powers
where we will, we'll roam
yo ho
all hands
hoist the colours high
heave-ho
thieves and beggars
never shall we die
yo ho
haul together
hoist the colours high
thieves and beggars
never shall we die
some have died and some are alive
others sail on the sea
with the keys to the cage
and the devil to pay
we lay to Fiddler's Green
the bell has been raised
from its watery grave
hear its sepulchral tone
a call to all
pay heed the squall
turn your sails to home
yo ho
haul together
hoist the colours high
heave-ho
thieves and beggars
never shall we die
yo ho, yo ho
a pirate's life for me
we're devils and black sheep
really bad eggs
drink up, me hearties yo ho
yo ho, yo ho
a pirate's life for me
we pillage, we plunder
we rifle and loot
drink up, me hearties
yo ho
we kidnap and ravage
and don't give a hoot
drink up, me hearties
yo ho
yo ho, yo ho
a pirate's life for me"
