Pirate Queen lyrics

Summer of 1720

I found my call

As a pirate of the sea

Feared as any man

And brave as can be

A deadly pirate boy

Oh I plundered

And murdered

And raided the sea

I ransacked farms

On the isle of Haiti

I fired my pistol

Mercilessly

Oh how savagery suited me

But I was tired of bluffing the lads

Tired of living behind the mask

Tired of hiding my love for Jack

Oh, to just be me

So I gathered my courage

And stood on the deck

I tore my shirt

And I bore my breasts

I said ‘fight me

Drown me

Cut my neck!

But, I’ll die as Anne Bonny

Oh I’ll tell you a tale

Of a pirate queen

A she-wolf who reigned

The Caribbean Sea

With a pistol-a-ready

And a cutlass keen

The villainous

Infamous

Anne Bonny

And so I held my breath

My fists clenched

And I caught Jack’s eye

Nervously holding his head

Then a voice from the back

I heard someone laugh

Then two

Then three

Then four, maybe more

It became a roar

And Jack was laughing too

He said ‘my darling look at you

You’re a pirate

And you’re home’

I’m home

No longer alone

I’m home

Oh I’ll tell you a tale

Of a pirate queen

A she-wolf who reigned

The Caribbean Sea

With a pistol-a-ready

And a cutlass keen

The villainous

Infamous

Anne Bonny
