[Verse 1]
Well, I used to be a farmer and I made a living fine
I had a little stretch of land along the CP line
But times were hard and though I tried, the money wasn't there
And the bankers came and took my land and told me fair is fair
I looked for every kind of job, the answer always "no"
Hire you now, they'd always laugh, we just let twenty go
The government, they promised me a measly little sum
But I've got too much pride to еnd up just another bum
Then I thought who gives a damn if all thе jobs are gone
I'm gonna be a pirate on the river Saskatchewan
[Chorus]
Yeah it's a heave-ho, hi-ho
Coming down the plains
Stealing wheat and barley and all the other grains
And it's a ho-hey, hi-hey
Farmers bar your doors
When you see the Jolly Roger on Regina's mighty shores
[Verse 2]
Well you think the locals farmers would know that I'm at large
But, just the other day I found an unprotected barge
I snuck up right behind them and they were none the wiser
I rammed their ship, and sank it, and I stole their fertilizer
A bridge outside of Moose Jaw spans a mighty river
Farmers cross in so much fear, their stomachs are a-quiver
'Cause they know that Captain Yarrface hides inside the bay
I'll jump the bridge and knock them cold and sail off with their hay
Well, I used to be a farmer and I made a living fine
I had a little stretch of land along the CP line
But times were hard and though I tried, the money wasn't there
And the bankers came and took my land and told me fair is fair
I looked for every kind of job, the answer always "no"
Hire you now, they'd always laugh, we just let twenty go
The government, they promised me a measly little sum
But I've got too much pride to еnd up just another bum
Then I thought who gives a damn if all thе jobs are gone
I'm gonna be a pirate on the river Saskatchewan
[Chorus]
Yeah it's a heave-ho, hi-ho
Coming down the plains
Stealing wheat and barley and all the other grains
And it's a ho-hey, hi-hey
Farmers bar your doors
When you see the Jolly Roger on Regina's mighty shores
[Verse 2]
Well you think the locals farmers would know that I'm at large

'Cause they know that Captain Yarrface hides inside the bay
I'll jump the bridge and knock them cold and sail off with their hay
