Out on the endless ocean We tear along the gales With rum inside our bellies warm And freedom in our sails
A wayward bunch of scoundrels Assassins, thieves and slaves The rich and blue-bloods fear us when We hunt upon the waves
And when you see it coming That flag of baleful black No point in turning tail there's no Escaping our attack!
YO-HO! YO-HO! We row beneath the black flag A rollickin' we go! We own the sea and sky YO-HO! YO-HO! We row beneath the black flag A rollickin' we go! We bleed the kingdoms dry!
Defy the odds against us A pirate knows no fear Our steel is ready and our Retribution is severe
We plunder from the greedy With blood and with our steel We rob the rich of their Ill-gotten gain and make them kneel
Behold the ocean's mysteries The tales of ancient deeds We follow in the footsteps Of a silent secret creed
Come on, lads!
YO-HO! YO-HO! We row beneath the black flag A rollickin' we go! We own the sea and sky YO-HO! YO-HO! We row beneath the black flag A rollickin' we go! We bleed the kingdoms dry!
Hoist the black flag, lads!
Justice runs in crimson rivers...
YO-HO! YO-HO! We row beneath the black flag A rollickin' we go! We own the sea and sky YO-HO! YO-HO! We row beneath the black flag A rollickin' we go! We own the sea and sky YO-HO! YO-HO! We row beneath the black flag A rollickin' we go! We bleed the kingdoms dry!
