The Pirate Song

       How we'd had the schooner "Fortune" all those days.
       How we'd had no money but we knew the case.
       Our captain thought that everyone would have the pleasure.
       When we'd reached that damnable and fatal shore
       We were twenty dirty, hungry braves, no more.
       But we saw the island and we thought about the treasure.

       Chorus:
       Yo-ho-ho-hey-yo!
       Yo-ho-ho-hey-yo!
       Yo-ho-ho-hey-yo-hey-yo-eh!..
       There were twenty even strong and power braves,
       If you wish you count pirates over.

       But a heavy gale had danaged every sail,
       Seven sailors were set out to the hell,
       And the eight was tore by cannibals in that laguna.
       Captain had a riot' sense and judge him god,
       So he'd hang the seven others on the yard,
       As to eighth, you know, he killed the captain on a schooner.

       Chorus.

       I had got the captain's map with secret signs,
       I had known about the treasures all the kinds,
       But... oh, God!.. we'd had to go along the boggy bayoy.
       So the next from us with total loss of strength
       Fell into the bayoy with his legs and hands,
       And another one was bitten by the fang of coyote.

       Chorus.

       So we'd searched the hidden treasure till the night,
       And we both had sunk into the earth so tight.
       Our hands ,and legs, and faces had been wet and bloody.
       But before the dawn his pick'd been tincled and bunged,
       It had bumped about the cover of a trunk.
       So my friend exclaimed:"Oh, let me open it, my buddy!"

       Chorus.

       But, you know, my last friend hadn't dance the jig,
       And he put his sticky arms around the brick.
       A had sent two bullets out from my own musket.
       And with silence I had opened that big chest,
       But it had been empty... God, I left my rest!
       Damned on me, the last one, if I would whenever trust it!
 
       Chorus.

       How we'd had the schooner "Fortune" all those days.
       How we'd had no money but we knew the case...
