[Verse 1]
Yon's my privateer
See how trim she lies
To every man a lucky hand
And every man a prize
[Verse 2]
I live to ride the ocean
The mighty world around
To take a little plunder
And to hear the cannon sound
[Verse 3]
To lay with pretty women
To drink Madeira wine
To hear the rollers thunder
On a shore that isn't mine
[Verse 4]
Privateering, oh, we will go
Privateering, yo ho ho ho
Privateering we will go
[Verse 5]
The people on your man o' war
Are treated worse than scum
I'm no flogging captain
And by God I've sailed with some
[Verse 6]
Come with me to Barbary
We'll ply there up and down
Not quite exactly
In the service of the Crown
[Verse 7]
To lay with pretty women
To drink Madeira wine
To hear the rollers thunder
On a shore that isn't mine
[Verse 8]
Privateering, oh, we will go
Privateering, yo ho ho ho
Privateering we will go
[Verse 9]
Look'ee there's my privateer
She's small but she can sting
Licensed to take prizes
With a letter from the King
[Verse 10]
I love the streets and taverns
Of a pretty foreign town
I tip my hat to the dark-eyed ladies
As we sally up and down
[Verse 11]
To lay with pretty women
To drink Madeira wine
To hear the rollers thunder
On a shore that isn't mine
[Verse 12]
Privateering we will go
Privateering, yo ho ho ho
Privateering we will go
[Verse 13]
Britannia needs her privateers
Each time she goes to war
Death to all her enemies
Though prizes matter more
[Verse 14]
Come with me to Barbary
We'll ply there up and down
Not quite exactly
In the service of the Crown
[Verse 15]
To lay with pretty women
To drink Madeira wine
To hear the rollers thunder
On a shore that isn't mine
[Verse 16]
Privateering, oh, we will go
Privateering, yo ho ho ho
Privateering we will go
