[Verse 1]
Yon's my privateer
See how trim she lies
To every man a lucky hand
And every man a prize
I live to ride the ocean
The mighty world around
To take a little plunder
And to hear the cannon sound
[Pre-Chorus]
To lay with pretty women
To drink Madeira wine
To hear the rollers thunder
On a shore that isn't mine
[Chorus]
Privateering, oh we will go
Privateering, yo ho ho ho
Privateering we will go
Yo ho ho, yo ho ho
[Verse 2]
The people on your man o' war
Are treated worse than scum
I'm no flogging captain
And by God I've sailed with some
Come with me to Barbary
We'll ply there up and down
Not quite exactly
In the service of the Crown
Yon's my privateer
See how trim she lies
To every man a lucky hand
And every man a prize
I live to ride the ocean
The mighty world around
To take a little plunder
And to hear the cannon sound
[Pre-Chorus]
To lay with pretty women
To drink Madeira wine
To hear the rollers thunder
On a shore that isn't mine
[Chorus]
Privateering, oh we will go
Privateering, yo ho ho ho
Privateering we will go
Yo ho ho, yo ho ho
[Verse 2]
The people on your man o' war
Are treated worse than scum
I'm no flogging captain
And by God I've sailed with some
Come with me to Barbary
We'll ply there up and down
Not quite exactly
In the service of the Crown
