about

Its a song about Pirates!
What more do you need to know!

Well... actually...
This song was written speciafically for a group who camped with the faction We (The Raggers) camped with. All they did was sit around under a Marquee for 4-5 days and drink and call out Arrrr!! to anyone who passed and occassioally have a scrap.

"Fun bunch of guys!" I thought, lets write a song for them!

So, I wrote this.
And then next event, the were nowhere to be seen.
I later found out they had been banned from the game as they had been stealing from people's tents !!!

Pirates indeed.... Buggers!

lyrics

Now sailors bold – both young and old,
Can journey long and far!
But even if – they’re cast adrift
Pirates they say Arrr!
(ARRR!)
Pirates they say Arrr!

There’s Blackbeard, Bluebeard, Yellowbeard.
We all know who they are!
And with Long John and Cutthroat Jake (as)
Pirates they say Arrr!
(ARRR!)
Pirates they say Arrr!

(Chorus)
This be – The life for me!
Taking plunder from the sea!
For we are and always be,
Pirates who say Arrr!
(ARRR!)
Pirates who say Arrr!


A sailor’s known as many things,
A Salt, A Jack, A Tar!
But secretly, they long to be.
Pirates who say Arrr!
(ARRR!)
Pirates who say Arrr!

They croon a shanty, dance a jig,
or strum on their guitar
But underneath a blood-red moon
Pirates they say Arrr!
(ARRR!)
Pirates they say Arrr!

(chorus)

So when afloat, you see a boat,
display Jolly Rog-AR!
It’s certain you’re about to meet (those)
Pirates who say Arrr!
(ARRR!)
Pirates who say Arrr!

So set your sail and turn your tail,
lay course by any star!
And flee as though your life depends (from)
Pirates who say Arrr!
(ARRR!)
Pirates who say Arrr!

(chorus x 2 to end)
