Chorus:
We spent our youths upon a ship learning of the world
But when we were loosed upon the dock it was all about the girls
We were just young pirate lads all straight and strong and tall
But of all the pirates on the sea women loved me best of all
(Chris)
When I was but a wee pirate lad the ladies loved me so
Cause on a sailing ship there's one thing you need to know
As sounder it was my job to keep the ship off of the reef
When the need arose it was only I that could go so deep
Chorus
(Kurt)
The ladies they all loved me so when I was in my prime
For I was in charge of the mooring ropes, it's where I spent my time
The mooring rope was thick and long and hung below my knees
And all the girls they sighed because I handled it with ease
Chorus
(Mark)
In my youth the ladies loved me, no one ever questioned why
For I worked on the lower hold and never the riggin high
While the monkeys spent their days aloft far above the ground
The girls all watched in wonder as I was going down
Chorus
(Sean)
Oh how the girls all loved me-the big brave sailor man
They oohed and ahhed as I would haul upon the big capstan
These other boys they came and went but I remained in play
The girls soon knew it was me alone that could keep it up all day
Chorus
(Cliff)
The ladies they still love me, see I'm the gunner so to speak
With so much firepower they can't walk right for a week
But because I am a gentleman I make sure they fire first
And just as the screams are fading I let go my cannon's burst
Chorus
But of all the pirates on the sea women loved me best of all
We spent our youths upon a ship learning of the world
But when we were loosed upon the dock it was all about the girls
We were just young pirate lads all straight and strong and tall
But of all the pirates on the sea women loved me best of all
(Chris)
When I was but a wee pirate lad the ladies loved me so
Cause on a sailing ship there's one thing you need to know
