Poem
Edward Kenway was a pirate He sailed the Spanish Main He plundered British merchant ships And the Galleons of Spain Once he was a farmer He walked behind the plough But now he ploughed the oceans deep He was a pirate now He started as a deckhand Till his bravery won through Then he became a captain bold And ruled a pirate crew He sailed into Nassau And he took that town It was then the British Government Ruled they must take him down One bright sunny morning The fleet sailed into the bay They were British Men of War They were going to make him pay But captain Kenway had a plan He knew what they must do He slowly drained his pint of ale The stood to face his crew Come on lads we'll to the fort Make them taste the cannon ball If we surrender now me boys They'll surely hang us all Kenway occupied the fort Behind its strong stone walls He knew he had the greatest chance To make the British fall He had a dozen cannons Set toward the sea He swore an oath upon his sword That he'd keep Nassau free The oath that he made to them Did his men inspire They all swore to do the same As the British opened fire They felt the ramparts shudder As the heavy metal balls Flew through the air and thudded Into the fortress walls But Kenway stood before his men And this speech he made Fire your cannons at them boys Lets make them afraid We will make them shake with fear They'll turn and run and then They will always rue the day They messed with Kenway's men The pirates fired the cannons Two British ships went down But one hundred troops stormed the beach They were trying to take the town But Kenway had prepared right well He had men upon that shore Hidden under canvas sails Ready for the war The troops were taken by surprise The pirates did attack The were outnumbered three to one But they sent them running back Kenway's cannons fired again And four more ships did sink All the pirates roared huzzah As they sank into the drink Fourteen British men of war Limped out of the bay Their sails were torn their hulls were holed As they sailed away Through the years many tales were told The legend slowly grew Of how the British Navy Were crushed by Kenway's crew
