We Were Sailors
Ryan M Barnes
We were sailors—we were pirates
floating down the river bend
Pieces of eight in the water the crew all diving under
Laughin’, singin’, a merry ole time
We were sailors—we were pirates
will the good times never end
The sailin’ time is here
oh, it fills our hearts with cheer
The whole crew stuffs in a carriage built for two
We head down to the river
and meet up with Captain Silver
And then repair our ship and sail off into the blue
We were sailors—we were pirates floating down the river bend
Pieces of eight in the water
the crew all diving under
Laughin’, singin’, a merry ole time
We were sailors—we were pirates
-will the good times never end
The River of the Kings
along the Lee of the Reeds
Is the greatest conquest we have known
But nothing is really safe
from me and first mate Jay
Don’t let us catch you sailin’ out alone
We were sailors—we were pirates
floating down the river bend
Pieces of eight in the water
the crew all diving under
Laughin’, singin’, a merry ole time
We were sailors—we were pirates
– will the good times never end
Walkin’ down the plank
is a piece of cake
It’s nothin’ if you know how to swim
But we captured a KK
Just the other day
He walked the plank and then he sank right in
We were sailors—we were pirates
floating down the river bend
Pieces of eight in the water
the crew all diving under
Laughin’, singin’, a merry ole time
We were sailors—we were pirates
– will the good times never end
Now you never know when
the ale will come to an end
And me mateys’ run out of songs to sing again
Then the water will freeze
– and block off the sea
So we’ll go down to the tavern and drink to you, my friend
We are sailors we are pirates
drinkin’ down the river bend
Pieces of eight was in the water
the crew’ll drink its plunder
Laughin’, drinkin’, a merry ole time
We are sailors, we are pirates
– let’s buy a round again!
We were sailors—we were pirates
floating down the river bend
Pieces of eight in the water
the crew all diving under
Laughin’, singin’, a merry ole time
We were sailors—we were pirates
– will the good times never end
