Betrayal on the Spanish Main
Intro:
Yo-ho-ho! Yo-ho-ho! (Repeat lots)
Verse 1:
We join our young hero in a small Caribbean town
His name is Jack the Jack and he never wears a frown
Apprentice for a bootmaker but he longs to be free
For Jack's home is a ship sailing on the open sea
His love is the daughter of a wealthy trading man
And together they conceive a clever privateering plan
They commandeer a ship of his for their own piratey use
Then sail to Tortuga to gather a ferocious piratey crew
CHORUS:
Oh, the pirate's life is hard it's true
But there's nothing I would rather do
The freedom of the open sea
And a cargo hold of stolen booty
By most we're labelled as outlaws
Stealing, fighting, looting without cause
So no-one understands me why
I'll be a pirate till the day I die!
Verse 2:
The trader soon learns of his daughter's betraying act
Even though it's but one small ship of many that he lacks
The actions of the two has raised the father's ire
Now the thirst for justice is his primary desire
The two of them start preying on her father's merchant boats
This salt in the wound really gets the trader's goat
He hires a mercenary cew, the best his money'll get
And he swears upon the Lord above he'll have his vengeance yet
CHORUS
Spoken interlude:
We were moored off the coast of a small jungle island. The
stars were veiled by veiled by clouds, and the horizon by a
thick fog. We kept the island in sight and travelled no further.
An uneasy feeling, dense as the fog around us, cast a blanket of
silence over the crew...
...Judging by the faint light of the moon there were but three
hours 'til dawn, yet none of the crew had slept a wink. Tired but
alert, they kept up their quiet vigil on deck. The silence was
broken with a shouted warning of a large ship slipping through
the fog towards us. The trader Ñ my lover's father Ñ had found us.
I yelled commands to weigh anchor and prepare for battle...
Bridge:
Justice had found us, but we would not run
We would stay and fight till the battle was won
They fired the first round, a few good men were lost
We launched a return volley, oh we'd make them pay the cost
Their ship may have been bigger and thicker in the hull
But ours was sleek and faster, and we flew the dreaded skull
Cannon smoke and fog mixed as the battle raged through the night
I shouted orders to my hardy crew; by God we'd give a fight!
Verse 3:
The mercs run out of cannon fire, yet the pirates were far from dead
But the trader boards Jack's ship and brings the battle to his deck
The swords they clash, the blood it flows, and many a good man falls
While Jack the Jack fights back to back with his lover at the helm
The father confronts the two of them and curses their eternal rest
He aims and fires his pistol at his daughter's ample chest
But Jack, being the hero, dives in and takes the blow
Then collapses quite still and motionless on the wooden planks below
His lover, quite enraged at the death of her sweet Jack
Sheds a single tear and stabs her father from stomach to back
Now overcome with grief, her pretty head begins to swoon
She falls beside his body and prays to join him soon
She wakes at midday to realize that none survived the fight
But turns towards the helm to see that Jack is somehow alright
Without a word she walks over to stand beside her love
And she wraps her arms around him as they sail into the sun
CHORUS
