Lyrics:

Yo ho, yo ho
The seas forever roll
Yo ho, yo ho
'Til I'm not but skull and bones
Yo ho, yo ho

 

From outcast to kingpin
Was born up on the sea
Ne'er was meant to walk the land
A pirate's life for me
Avast ye whining, up the sails
Don't speak to mutiny
Or find yourself a'wantin' quarter
Bottom of the sea

 

 

Among the shoals of Saint Anne
To the eastern shores
I'll take my chances on the wind
To loot and plunder scores
Our flag it stands for us alone
And no one else around
We owe our honour to the sea
And not to any crown

 

 

Yo ho, yo ho
The seas forever roll
Yo ho, yo ho
The winds forever blow
Long after I've met Davy Jones
'Til I'm naught but skull and bones
Yo ho

 

 

So, me bullies, bottoms up
Raise the sails and drink with me
Here's to us!
"Live long and long live piracy"
Bring her round into the white
If treasures to be found
A pirate's life or nothing else
'Til the ship she's goin' down

 

Yo ho, yo ho
The seas forever roll
Yo ho, yo ho
The winds forever blow
Long after I've met Davy Jones
'Til I'm naught but skull and bones
Yo ho

 

Heave ho, me hearties one by one (heave ho, me hearties one by one)
A pirate's life until we're done (a pirate's life until we're done)
Heave ho, me hearties bring her round (heave ho, me hearties bring her round)
A pirate's life for me I've found (a pirate's life for me I've found)

 

Yo ho, yo ho
The seas forever roll (skull and bones)
Yo ho, yo ho
The winds forever blow (skull and bones)
Long after I've met Davy Jones
'Til I'm naught but skull and bones (skull and bones)
Yo ho

 

Yo ho, yo ho
The seas forever roll (skull and bones)
Yo ho, yo ho
The winds forever blow (skull and bones)
Long after I've met Davy Jones
'Til I'm naught but skull and bones
Yo ho
