Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh, come all ye brave and hearty souls,
Who roam the ocean wide,
To tell the tale of daring deeds,
And the perils we've defied.
We sail upon the rolling waves,
Our ship a mighty sight,
But heed my warning ere you join,
For the pirate's life's no light.
[Chorus]
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me,
We roam the seas from shore to shore,
And live a life so free.
But beware the dangers that lie ahead,
And the price that you may pay,
For the life of a pirate's not for all,
And it's a heavy toll to weigh.
[Verse 2]
We plunder ships and seize the gold,
With cutlass and with gun,
But in the heart of every man,
Lies fear of what's to come.
For navy ships they hunt us down,
With cannons roaring loud,
And many a friend we've lost at sea,
To the merciless pirate's shroud.
[Chorus]
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me,
We brave the storms and fight our foes,
On the vast and endless sea.
But remember well the risks you take,
And the choices that you make,
For the pirate's life is rough and tough,
And it's a gamble you must stake.
[Verse 3]
So hoist the flag of skull and bones,
And let the world take heed,
For we're the terror of the ports,
And the dread of every breed.
But though our days be wild and free,
And our tales resound and grand,
A price is paid for every deed,
By the pirate's ruthless hand.
[Chorus]
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's lot for me,
We'll sail until the end draws near,
And face what fate decree.
But ponder well and weigh the cost,
Ere ye join our gallant crew,
For the life of a pirate's harsh and stern,
And may not be for you.
[Verse 4]
So now our tale draws to a close,
The yarn of pirate lore,
Mayhaps it stirred thy heart and soul,
Or left thee yearning more.
Remember well the lessons learned,
From our adventures bold,
For life at sea holds no guarantee,
Of treasures, fame, or gold.
[Outro]
So here's to thee, ye daring souls,
Who listened to our song,
May fortune smile upon thy path,
And keep thee safe and strong.
Whether ye choose the pirate's life,
Or seek a different way,
May courage guide thee through the storm,
And light thy path each day.
Farewell, dear friends, until we meet,
Upon the ocean vast.
