YAmon’s my privateer
See how trim she lies
To every man a lucky hand
And every man a prize
I live to ride the ocean
The mCighty world arGound Am
To take a little plCunder
And to hGear the cannon sAmound
To lFay with pretty wComen
To drink Madeira wGine D/F#
To hAmear the rollers thCunder
On a shGore that isn’tAm mine
PrivatAmeering we will go
Privateering, yo ho hoho
Privateering we will go
Yo ho ho, yo ho ho

The pAmeople on your man o’ war
Are treated worse than scum
I’m no flogging captain
And by God I’ve sailed with some
Come with me to Barbary
We’ll Cply there up andG downAm
Not quite exCactly
In the sGervice of the CrAmown
To lFay with pretty wComen
To drink Madeira wGine D/F#
To hAmear the rollers thCunder
On a shGore that isn’tAm mine
PrivatAmeering we will go
Privateering, yo ho hoho
Privateering we will go
Yo ho ho, yo ho ho

LAmook’ee there’s my privateer
She’s small but she can sting
Licensed to take prizes
With a letter from the King
I love the streets and taverns
Of a prCetty foreign tGown
Tip my hAmat to the dark-eyed lCadies
As we sGally up and dAmown
To lFay with pretty wComen
To drink Madeira wGine D/F#
To hAmear the rollers thCunder
On a shGore that isn’tAm mine
PrivatAmeering we will go
Privateering, yo ho hoho
Privateering we will go
Yo ho ho, yo ho ho

BritAmannia needs her privateers
Each time she goes to war
Death to all her enemies
Though prizes matter more
Come with me to Barbary
We’ll Cply there up andG downAm
Not quite exCactly
In the sGervice of the CrAmown
To lFay with pretty wComen
To drink Madeira wGine D/F#
