Lyrics

In 1718, they cornered Edward Teach And blew his fucking head right off on Ocracoke Beach Blackbeard was a pirate, tough as old boots Sailing around the seven seas, the queen's men in pursuit They caught him off guard, while he was drinking rum Get engaged him with their battleships and guns Well Blackbeard looked unshaken, he took a swig of grog "It's gonna take much more than that to stop this salty dog" But in his heart he knew, that in this foreign land He'd go to battle one last time and make his final stand He looked to the sky The Jolly Roger raised up high Four words he did say I'm a fucking pirate I'm a fucking pirate king, ahoy! I'm a fucking pirate Blackbeard is my name and piracy is my game Many years he'd searched, for evil magic famed And found an ancient Voodoo Queen, bewitchment was her game He knew his days were numbered, and soon his time would come By cannonball, or flintlock, or shotgun in the bum With evil on his side, he set forth once again Knowing that no force on earth could stop him or his men And when his death would come, unleashed would be her spell And he would claim his throne as the Zombie King of Hell A gleam in his eye His cutlass took those bastards' lives He said the words once more I'm a fucking pirate I'm a fucking pirate king, ahoy! I'm a fucking pirate Blackbeard is my name and soon I will rise again In 1718, they cornered Edward Teach And blew his fucking head right off on Ocracoke Beach His body hit the floor and Blackbeard was no more But from the grave he rose again, a pirate ghost of war I'm a fucking pirate I'm a fucking pirate ghost, ahoy! I'm a fucking pirate I've risen from the dead And I'll shoot you in the head, hey! I'm a fucking pirate ghost! I'm a fucking pirate ghost! I'm a fucking ghost!
