Come all you wild young men
C5 F5 G5
And a warning take by lead
C5 F5 C5 G5
Never lead your single life astray
C5 G5 A5
Or into bad company
As I myself have done
Being all in the month of may
When I was pressed by a sea captain
A privateer to tray
To the East Indies we were bound
To plunder the region main
And it's many a brave and a gally and ship
We sent to a watery grave

Off a freeport we did steer
Our provisions to renew
When we did spy a bold man of war
sailing three feet toward too
And she fired in cross our bow
Heave through and don't refuse
Surrender now into our command
Or else your lives you'll lose
And our decks they were splattered with blood
And our canons did loudly roar
And broadside and broadside a long time we laid
Until we could fire no more
C5 D G5
And a thousand times I quested myself again
