The crew says I am just a jinx
and that's not fair... I am a cat.
The capt'n is my master here
and I am privileged... that is that.
Aye, black I am and pirate bred.
Don't ask me how, for it's been years
and 'ol Tim Black, aye, he is dead.
I won't say more 'cause of the fears.
Me tail is missin' from the brawl
that 'appened on one stormy night.
Me wits I've kept and that's not all
but what I have is out of sight.
I know where the best treasures lie,
on islands reaching 'round the seas.
I'll not tell ye, 'cause you'd try
to dig 'em up, aye, if ye please.
I am the capt'n's only cat
and I am privileged... that is that.
