Blackbeard’s Song Horrible Histories (Ft. Ben Willbond, Jim Howick, Laurence Rickard & Mathew Baynton)

[Blackbeard (Howick)]
When I was a nipper
I boarded a clipper
Sailed the seas as a goods importer, oh
Edward Teach is my name
But I earned my fame
As Blackbeard the pirate of the water, oh

Was a jolly chap
With a jaunty cap
Always gave my crew good quarter, oh
But I'm best known for
Blood and guts and gore
And a vicious reign of murdering and slaughter, oh

[Chorus (Baynton, Rickard, Willbond)]
Best known for
Blood and guts and gore
And a vicious reign of murdering and slaughter, oh

[Blackbeard]
Left my home in Bristol
With a sword and pistol
Bid a fond farewell to old Blighty, oh
What my enemies feared
Was my thick, black beard
Which I always enjoyed setting light to, oh
