The Pirates Life For Me

yo ho yo ho into the horizon i go 
the wind at my back the wood under my feet 
a  treasure awaits calling my name 
the black flag ive raised warn those who see 
this beautiful dowry i call home 
a bounty still stands a price on my head 
they wont have a trial just shoot me instead 
ill plunge and ill plunder till the gallows call me home 
the pleasure it gives me sends chills through the bone 
i love this life gliding across the sea 
yo ho yo ho a pirates life for me
