Pour, oh pour the pirate sherry
When Fred'ric was a little lad
Oh, better far to live and die
Oh, false one, you have deceived me
Climbing over rocky mountain
Stop! ladies, pray! a man!
Oh, is there not one maiden breast
Oh, sisters, deaf to pity's name, for shame!
What ought we to do, gentle sisters, say?
How beautifully blue the sky
Stay, we must not lose our senses
I am the very model of a modern major-general
Oh, men of dark and dismal fate
Hail poetry, thou heav'n born maid!
You may go, for you're at liberty
Pray observe the magnanimity
Oh, dry the glist'ning tear
When the foeman bares his steel
Now for the pirates lair!
When you had left our pirate fold
Away, away, my heart's on fire
Ah, leave me not to pine alone and desolate
Oh, here is love and here is truth
When a felon's not engaged in his employment
A rollicking band of pirates we
Sighing softly to the river
Now what is this, and what is that
Away with them, and place them at the bar
Poor wand'ring ones, though ye have surely strayed.
