Great pirate songs

Being a big fan of Mad Caddies myself, I couldn't resist to post this... my favourite pirate song! "Weird Beard", from Mad Caddie's album "Rock the Plank":cheers

Here's the lyrics
icon_twisted.gif
:

the night was dark
the seas were rough
the port lay straight ahead
the booze ran out
the men grew tired
and this is what they said:
"captain if you cannot find a place to set her down
then you'll be sleeping right along with this vessel in the ground"

well the jolly roger pulled through
and made it to the land
we disembarked
went into town with vengence in our hand
the children cried
the woman sight
the men just turn their heads
so with a smile we chated loud and this is what we said

"ooohhoooh
raise'em in the air
we'll knock you up
and slap you down
and never seem to care
ooohooohh
another one for me
cause we're the filthy vermin
that will set you people free"

with nothing left for us to drink
the night was winding down
but still the girls kept swaggering
and still hanging around
oh! mister can you tell me where i can find a man
the only thing that you will find is the back side of my hand!

"ooohhoooh
raise'em in the air
we'll knock you up
and slap you down
and never seem to care
ooohooohh
another one for me
we're the filthy vermin
that will set you people free
we're the filthy vermin
that will set you people free
ooohhoooh
raise'em in the air
we'll knock you up
and slap you down
and never seem to care
ooohooohh
another one for me
we're the filthy vermin
that will set you people free
we're the filthy vermin
that will set you people free "




And... here you have it... just change the file extension to .mp3 and there you go. Of course, you can only download it if you own the original album, as I do, because I uploaded it just for backup purposes, and I offer it to you, the legitimal and legal owner of the original album, just in case that, by any means, you've broken your CD, or it's so scratched it's not longer working, or you can't rip your CD to make your legal backup copy of the song, and all that. If not, shoo! Don't click you damned :cheers !! Not me, nor the owners of the forum, will be held responsible for anything related to this.


Hope you like it mateys! :bow

And it would be cool if someone else have another good pirate song, to post it like me in this thread: lyrics and sound file (if any, and for downloading under legal conditions of course, piracy is no longer well seen nowadays... :x) . No matter if it's very known and already legally owned by almost everyone, like "`Yo-Ho`" :cheers or even... that of "Sponge Bob Square Pants"

<span style='`font-size`:16pt;`line-height`:100%'>P.S. If any of the forum moderators thinks that, even after all the `pseudo-legal` warning, it's still a danger for the forum, just edit and delete the link... I don't want to be a source of problems.</span>
 
Ok, I only said because in other forums it's allowed anything remotely related with any kind of "piracy", and I didn't see any forum rules around so I was not sure. But I thought, hey, this is a pirates forum, what the hell! But anyway I wanted to be sure, I just came in and I don't want to cause problems because of my ignorance.

So c'mon m8s! Share your pirate music knowlowedge with the rest of us! :cheers
 
Rules Bah! :cheers

Sorry can't be of more help than that, i dont know to much about pirate songs
 
Hehe, then you maybe should get this book...

Or you can make a song yourself! Just like...

Oh, 100 Bottles of Rum on the Wall, 100 Bottles of Rum! Ye take one down, pass it around, 99 bottles of rum on the wall.

Oh, 99 Bottles of Rum on the Wall, 99 Bottles of Rum! Ye take one down, pass it around, 98 bottles of rum on the wall.

Oh, 98 Bottles of Rum on the Wall, 98 Bottles of Rum! Ye take one down, pass it around, 97 bottles of rum on the wall.

Oh, 97 Bottles of Rum on the... what? You say that that song exists? Oh well... :cheeky

Hey! Google told me a new one...

Terror of the Sea

In the misty ocean breeze,
we set to sail the open Seas, tonight.

Stalking our prey from an eye scope away,
till the captain will say, attack with all our might.

Terror on the water,
feared by all who sail and together,
we'll never fail.

Hey! Our destiny, so hail, hail,
Terror of the Sea.

We pledge allegiance one and all,
with Ali Raja in the morning sky.
We rape and we kill, we take what we will,

we live by the sword and by the sword we'll die.

Terror on the water,
feared by all who sail and together,
we'll never fail.
Hey! Our destiny, so hail, hail,

Terror of the Sea.

Make the prisoners walk the plank
and laugh about their ships we sank, to Hell.
We stab and we slash,
as we swing from the mass,
make a cannonball splash,
for all shipmates who fell.


Unfortunately my english is not that good as to make a decent pirate song... :cheers I think I should check http://talklikeapirateday.com/ and train :yes
 
Here be a good drinkin' song

Yo Ho Ho and a Bottle of Rum

Fifteen men on a dead man’s chest 
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Drink and the devil be done for the rest 
Yo hoe hoe and a bottle of rum

The mate was fixed by the bos’n’s pike
The bos’n’ brained with a markin spike and 
Cookey’s throat was marked belike It
Had been gripped by fingers ten and 
There they lay all good dead men like

Break o’ day in a boozing ken...
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Fifteen men of a whole ship’s list 
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Dead and be damned and the rest gone whist! 
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum

The skipper lay with his nob in gore where the 
Scullion’s axe his cheek had shore
And the scullion he was stabbed times four and 
There he lay and the soggy skies
Dripped all day in `up-staring` eyes at
Murk sunset and at foul `sur-prise`   

Yo hoe hoe and a bottle of rum
Fifteen men of ‘em stiff and stark 
Yo hoe hoe crew had the murder mark 
Yo hoe hoe and a bottle of rum

‘Twas a cutlass swipe or and ounce of lead or a 
Yawning hole in a battered head
and the scuppers glut with a yawning red and 
There they lay aye damn my eyes
All lookouts clapped on par - a - dise all
Souls bound just con – tra – ri - wise   
Yo hoe hoe and a bottle of rum

Fifteen men of ‘em good and true 
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Every man Jack could ha’ sailed with old Pew 
Yo hoe hoe and a bottle of rum

There was chest on chest of Spanish gold with a 
Ton of plate in the middle hold
And the cabins riot with stuff un told As 
They lay there that had took the plum
With a sightless glare and their lips struck dumb
While we shared all by the rule of thumb  

Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Fifteen men of a dead man’s chest 
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Drink and the devil had done for the rest 
Yo hoe hoe and a bottle of rum

We wrapped ‘em all in a mains’l tight with 
Twice ten turns of a hausers bight
And we heaved ‘em over and out of sight with a 
Yo heave ho and fare you well
And a sullen plunge in a sullen swell
Ten fathoms deep on the road to hell  
Yo hoe hoe and a bottle of rum :cheers
 
Stan Rogers, a wonderful Canadian singer/songwriter, wrote this:

Barrett's Privateers

O the year was 1778
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
A letter of marque came from the king
To the scummiest vessel I've ever seen

(chorus) God damn them all
I was told we'd cruise the seas for American gold
We'd fire no guns, shed no tears
Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier,
The last of Barrett's Privateers

2. O Elcid Barrett cried the town
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
For twenty brave men all fishermen who
Would make for him the Antelope's crew
God damn them all . . . .

3. The Antelope sloop was a sickening site
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
She'd list to the port and her sails in rags
And the cook in the scuppers with the staggers and jags
God damn them all . . . .

4. On the King's birthday we put to sea
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
`Ninety-one` days to Montego Bay
Pumping like madmen all the way
God damn them all . . . .

5. On the `ninety-sixth` day we sailed again
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
When a bloody great Yankee hove in sight
With our cracked `four-pounders` we made to fight
God damn them all . . . .

6. The Yankee lay low down with gold
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
She was broad and fat and loose in stays
But to catch her took the Antelope two whole days
God damn them all . . . .

7. Then at length she stood two cables away
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
Our cracked `four-pounders` made awful din
But with one fat ball the Yank stove us in
God damn them all . . . .

8. The Antelope shook and pitched on her side
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
Barrett was smashed like a bowl of eggs
And the main truck carried off both me legs
God damn them all . . . .

9. Now here I lay in my `twenty-third` year
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
It's been six years since we sailed away
And I just made Halifax yesterday
God damn them all . . . .

It's quite a stirring song, especially if you get the whole room singing on the chorus...

I've always loved Stan's music. This is the only "pirate" one, but he wrote and sang some great Canadian maritime and folk music in his time.
 
I'm a pirate and I'm okay,
I sleep all night and I raid all day...
He's a pirate and he's okay, he sleeps all night and he works all day...
I slaughter crews, i steal their loot, i go to the lavatrie, on wendsdays I go shopping, and eat buttered scones for tea...
He slaugters crews, he steals their loot, he goes to teh lavatry, on wendsdays he goes shopping, and eats buttered scones for tea...

You get the gist of it. :dio :dio :dio
 
"Sea Shanty" by the Pogues (all drums and accordion... its irish so the accordion doesn't suck... get it on Kazaa or get a clip on :http://pogues.com/Releases/Lyrics/LPs/RedRoses/Shanty.html )

Dear dirty London in the pouring rain
I wish to God I was back on the sea again
Though that belongs to the world of never will be
There was never a wilder bastard than me on the sea
I could f**k all the whores in damnation me boys
Though they wriggled and hollered and made a great noise
Then I'd drink till I stank and then drink plenty more
And I won't go down to the sea any more
But if I had ten pounds then I'd raise a loud cheer
And I'd toast all me neighbours both distant and dear
And I'd shoot back great `belly-crippling` buckets of beer
And a pox and a curse on the people round here
Wouldn't give you me the price of a half pint of beer
Wouldn't give you me the price of a cup of good cheer
A pox and a curse on the people round here

A man's ambition must indeed be small
To write his name upon a shit house wall
But before I die I'll add my regal scrawl
To show the world I'm left with sweet f**k all
And when all of us bold shit house poets do die
A monument grand they will raise to the sky
A monument made just to mark our great wit
A monument of solid shit now me boys
I met with Bill James we fought over crusts
I called him a whore and he booted me crotch
Then we shared out the jack and we thought it a treat
The compliments pass when the quality meet
The compliments pass when the quality meet
The compliments pass when the quality meet
The compliments pass when the quality meet
 
Ahhh, the Pogues!!! They are wonderful! (talk about drinking songs!)

They did this traditional old sea chantey too - although they weren't the only ones, LOL!

"South Australia"

In South Australia I was born
Heave away, Haul away
In South Australia 'round Cape Horn
We're bound for South Australia

Haul away your rolling king
Heave away, Haul away
Haul away oh hear me sing
We're bound for South Australia

As I walked out one morning fair
Heave away, Haul away
'Twas there I met Miss Nancy Blair
We're bound for South Australia

There's just one thing that's on my mind
Heave away, Haul away
That's leaving Nancy Blair behind
We're bound for South Australia

And as we wallop round Cape Horn
Heave away, Haul away
You'll wish to God you've never been born
We're bound for South Australia

Here are the words to that song from the PotC movie - which also is played when you go on the PotC ride at Disney theme parks:

Yo, Ho (A Pirate's Life For Me)
From: Pirates of the Caribbean
Music: George Bruns
Lyrics: Xavier Atencio
Copyright 1967
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me.
We pillage and plunder, we rifle and loot.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.
We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me.
We extort and pilfer, we filch and we sack.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.
Maraud and embezzle and even highjack.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me.
We kindle and char and inflame and ignite.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.
We burn up the city, we're really a fright.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.

We're rascals and scoundrels, we're villians and knaves.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.
We're devils and black sheep, we're really bad eggs.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.

We're beggars and blighters and ne'er `do-well` cads,
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.
Aye, but we're loved by our mommies and dads,
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me. :facepalm
 
I love this one from Veggie Tales:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything

We are the pirates who don’t do anything
We just stay at home and lay around
And if you ask us to do anything
Well just tell you we don’t do anything

But I’ve never been to Cleveland
And I've never been to Denver
And I’ve never buried treasure in St. Louie or St. Paul
And I’ve never been to Moscow
And I’ve never been to Tampa
And I’ve never been to Boston in the fall

We are the pirates who don’t do anything
We just stay at home and lay around
And if you ask us to do anything
Well just tell you we don’t do anything

And I’ve never hoist the mainstay
And I’ve never swabbed the poop deck
And I’ve never veer to starboard
Cause I never sail at all

And I’ve never walked the gangplank
And I’ve never owned a parrot
And I’ve never been to Boston in the fall

Cause were the pirates who don’t do anything
We just stay at home and lay around
And if you ask us to do anything
Well just tell you we don’t do anything

O I’ve never plucked a rooster
And I'm not too good at ping ball
And I’ve never thrown my mashed potatoes
Up against the wall

And I’ve never kissed a chipmunk
And I’ve never gotten head lice
And I’ve never been to Boston in the fall

And I’ve never licked a spark plug
And I’ve never sniffed a stinkbug
And I’ve never painted daises
On a big red rubber ball

And I’ve never bathed in yogurt
And I don’t look good in leggings
And I’ve never been to Boston in the fall!

Relient K also recorded this... It's fun... :cheers

Here's the original skit from From A Very Silly `Sing-Along` -

Narrator: "Joining Larry are Pa Grape and Mr. Lunt, who together make up
the infamous gang of scalliwags, the Pirates Who Don't Do Anything!"
Larry, Pa, Mr. Lunt: "We are the Pirates Who Don't Do Anything! We just
stay home and lie around. And if you ask us to do anything, we'll just
tell you ..."
Larry: "We don't do anything!"
Pa: "Well, I've never been Greenland and I've never been to Denver, and
I've never buried treasure in St. Louis or St. Paul, and I've never been
to Moscow and I've never been to Tampa, and I've never been to Boston in
the fall."
All: "'Cuz we're the Pirates Who Don't Do Anything! We just stay home
and lie around. And if you ask us to do anything, we'll just tell you
.."
Mr. Lunt: "We don't do anything. And I never hoist the mainstay and I
never swab the poop deck, and I never veer to starboard 'cuz I never
sail at all, and I've never walked the gang plank and I've never owned a
parrot, and I've never been to Boston in the fall."
All: "'Cuz we're the Pirates Who Don't Do Anything! We just stay at home
and lie around. And if you ask us to do anything, we'll just tell you
.. We don't do anything!"
Larry: "Well, I've never plucked a rooster and I'm not too good at
`ping-pong`, and I've never thrown my mashed potatoes up against the wall,
and I've never kissed a chipmunk and I've never gotten head lice, and
I've never been to Boston in the fall!"
Pa: "Huh? What are you talking about? What's a rooster and mashed
potatoes have to do with being a pirate??"
Mr. Lunt: "Hey, that's right! We're supposed to sing about `pirate-y`
things!"
Larry: "Oh ..."
Pa: "And who ever kissed a chipmunk? That's just nonsense! Why even
bring it up? Am I right? What do you think?"
Mr. Lunt: "I think you look like Cap'n Crunch!"
Pa: "Huh? No I don't!"
Mr. Lunt: "Do too."
Pa: "Do not!"
Mr. Lunt: "You're making me hungry."
Pa: "That's it, you're walkin' the plank!"
Mr. Lunt: "Says who?"
Pa: "Says the captain, that's who!"
Mr. Lunt: "Oh, yeah? Aye aye, Cap'n Crunch!"
Larry: "And I've never licked a spark plug and I've never sniffed a
stink bug, and I've never painted daisies on a big red rubber ball, and
I've never bathed in yogurt and I don't look good in leggings ..."
Pa: "You just don't get it!"
All: "And we've never been to Boston in the fall!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now, I've thrown pickle slices up against the wall (they stick, haha!), but never mashed potatoes. :onya
 
I got a whale of a tale to tell ya, lads
A whale of a tale or two
'Bout the flappin' fish and the girls I've loved
On nights like this with the moon above
A whale of a tale and it's all true
I swear by my tattoo

There was Mermaid Minnie, met her down in Madagascar
She would kiss me, any time that I would ask her
Then one evening her flame of love blew out
Blow me down and pick me up!
She swapped me for a trout

Got a whale of a tale to tell ya, lads
A whale of a tale or two
'Bout the flappin' fish and the girls I've loved
On nights like this with the moon above
A whale of a tale and it's all true
I swear by my tattoo

There was Typhoon Tessie, met her on the coast of Java
When we kissed I bubbled up like molten lava
Then she gave me the scare of my young life
Blow me down and pick me up!
She was the captain's wife

Got a whale of a tale to tell ya, lads
A whale of a tale or two
'Bout the flappin' fish and the girls I've loved
On nights like this with the moon above
A whale of a tale and it's all true
I swear by my tattoo

Then there was Harpoon Hanna
And a look that spelled out danger
And my heart quivered when she whispered
"I'm there stranger."
Bought her trinkets that sailors can't afford.
And when I spent my last red cent,
She tossed me over board.

Got a whale of a tale to tell ya, lads
A whale of a tale or two
'Bout the flappin' fish and the girls I've loved
On nights like this with the moon above
A whale of a tale and it's all true
I swear by my tattoo
