O Tavern Wench

O Tavern Wench
O Tavern Wench
How lovely are your glasses

O Tavern Wench
O Tavern Wench
You’re prettiest of lasses

Ye bring me ale,
Ye bring me grub
Ye smack me when
Your rear I rub.

O Tavern Wench
O Tavern Wench
How lovely are your glasses

O Tavern Wench
O Tavern Wench
I’ll bring ye lots o’ plunder

O Tavern Wench
O Tavern Wench
Don’t send my heart asunder

Ye fit so nicely on me lap
Come give me face a playful slap.

O Tavern Wench
O Tavern Wench
I’ll bring ye lots o’ plunder


I Sank Three Ships On Christmas Day

I sank three ships on Christmas day,
on Christmas day, on Christmas day,

I sank three ships on Christmas day,
on Christmas day in the morning.

And what was in their holds all three
on Christmas day, on Christmas day

And what was in their holds all three
on Christmas day in the morning

Gold doubloons and pretty jewels,
on Christmas day, on Christmas day

Gold doubloons and pretty jewels,
on Christmas day in the morning.


God Rest Ye Merry, Pirate Lads

God Rest Ye Merry, Pirate Lads
We’re plunderin’ this day.
We’ll soon be rich and spend it all,
‘cause that’s the pirate way.

We’ll sail the seas and hoist the jib,
And try ter to fill our hold
With coins made of silver and gold, silver and gold
With coins made of silver and gold.

God Rest Ye Merry, Pirate Lads
There’s rum for all the crew!
Bang your cup upon the plank
And ye will get your due.

For Christmas on a pirate ship
Means hangover by morn
Oh I shouldna had that last spot o’ rum, spot o’ rum
I shouldna had that last spot o’ rum!

God Rest Ye Merry, Pirate Lads
There’s a ship just off the bow!
Prepare the cannons fore and aft,
‘Cause it is our ship now.

A pirate’s life is full of fights,
We laugh when cannons roar.
Let us plunder a wee bit more, a wee bit more
Let us plunder a wee bit more
