wicked - jolly rogers lyrics

Loading...

i served on the charles a fair privateer but our pay it
was weeks overdue
the crew’s morale was low and the captain was drunk and
sadly this was nothing new
so while he slept we cut line and sailed out they
called it a polite mutiny.
when he awoke we put him in a boat and began our life
of piracy.

with a crew of one fifty and forty six guns we sailed
to the arabian sea.
we found four pirate ships and enlisted their aid and
each of their captains agreed
this was a route used by pilgrims and merchants when
their spices and silks were all sold
if our timing was right their ships would be slow
weighed down by all the silver and gold

chorus:
my wicked wicked ways
and those wicked wicked days
when the blood and the gold poured down like the rain
and that wicked wicked sea
and my most wicked company
when they screamed for my head in england france and
spain

our crews they all roared as they saw a great ship and
readied as our prize drew near
with 400 rifles and forty big guns the ship felt it had
nothing to fear
with our second shot the main mast was lost, they knew
they had no way to run
firing their rifles the crew swarmed the deck while
quickly reloading the guns

a cannon exploded and bodies were thrown the deck
covered in carnage and fire
we pulled along side and readied to board her treasure
now our one desire
standing on deck thirty slave girls were armed and
dressed up to look like the crew
while down in the hold their brave captain wept for he
knew that his time it was through

chorus

we fought our way down till we got to a hatch that led
to the frigate’s main hold
we all stared in wonder at what we had found a sight
just too great to behold
there were chests overflowing with jewelry and gems and
that is just where it began
more than 1 million pounds worth of silver and gold
enough to make kings of each man

the crew then embarked on an orgy of rape and plunder
that lasted five days
we tortured their crew men until we had found where
each secret hiding place lay
and in a cabin with walls lined in gold i found there
my favorite prize
the emperor’s daughter who stared back at me with
smoldering charcoal for eyes

chorus

we loaded our ships with all they could hold and left
them not even a scr-p
and headed then to the nearest port our hope to outrun
any traps
one half ton of ivory and the ship that i loved bribed
us our way onto sh-r-
we split up the treasure and went our own ways and with
pirates i sailed nevermore

i built me a palace and lived like a king, paid for
with ill-gotten gold
the emperor’s daughter and my secret i kept, while i
comfortably grew old
my life as a pirate was short that is true but my
exploits were all known quite well
for all those of you who say that crime doesn’t pay
captain avery…that’s me…says like h-ll.

chorus
