Lyrics
Intro:
Yo ho, gather all, hear a tale so dire,
Of Poor Pirate Roger, and his luckless mire,
At the helm of misfortune, he stands alone,
So raise up your voices, his fate to bemoan!
Verse 1:
Roger set sail with dreams of great wealth,
With a peg-leg and courage, but poor in health,
He sought after treasures, with maps old and torn,
But found only trouble since the day he was born.
Chorus:
Heave ho, heave ho, Poor Pirate Roger,
His luck's as dry as a bone,
Heave ho, heave ho, through storms he'd wager,
Always lost, forever alone.
Verse 2:
Westward he ventured, through tempests and rain,
In search of a fortune, but all was in vain,
Each chest that he opened held nothing but air,
Empty as the tavern when the cupboard is bare.
Chorus:
Heave ho, heave ho, Poor Pirate Roger,
His luck's as dry as a bone,
Heave ho, heave ho, through storms he'd wager,
Always lost, forever alone.
Bridge:
On seas so fierce, where the wild winds wail,
Roger’s dreams, like his sails, were set to fail,
He stood at the prow, with hope in his eyes,
But the sea just mocked him with stormy skies.
Bridge:
On seas so fierce, where the wild winds wail,
Roger’s dreams, like his sails, were set to fail,
He stood at the prow, with hope in his eyes,
But the sea just mocked him with stormy skies.
Verse 3:
A ship loomed ahead in the dead of the night,
Roger thought his luck changed, he was ready to fight,
But oh, the irony, for what did he see?
His own crew aboard, as mutinous as could be.
Chorus:
Heave ho, heave ho, Poor Pirate Roger,
His luck's as dry as a bone,
Heave ho, heave ho, through storms he'd wager,
Always lost, forever alone.
Outro:
So here’s to Roger, a pirate so bold,
With a heart full of dreams that never took hold,
We sing of his woes with a tear and a smile,
Poor Pirate Roger, the luckless pile.
