Pieces of eight, or was it ten
were counted out by big strong men,
fine jewels and plunder they had took
and rare old stories ..(to fill a book)
Now "Naughty Meg" was captain still,
with Peg-leg Bill..her Cockatoo
he'd screech and roar.. Oh!ship Ahoy!
and torment the life out of the cabin boy
Once, quite a beauty Meg would date
hoping like all.. to find a mate,
but all she found were common "riff-Raff"
(who should have served within the "draft"
Then one fine day, she took a walk
along the quay..(where rocks were chalk,)
she spied a fella sitting there,
curling and braiding his golden hair
They quickly fell in love that day,
romancing and hugging ..(like in a play)
he told her she should leave him soon
as he would surely bring her doom
"What's this ," she cried so full of sorrow
"we cannot meet upon the morrow?"
he looked away and hung his head..
(he really wished that he were dead)
A pirate ship is all I own,
a few brave men and an old trombone,
a treasure chest ..(with naught inside)
she shed a tear, with this news supplied
"I'll sail with you, my brave young man,
across the seas to old Hong-Kong,
with me with you, you can't go wrong!
the boys and peg-leg can come along"
So off they sailed on their merry way
plundering and pillaging.. (all the day)
they might get wed, when a fortunes made
but the chances of that are well outweighed........
