Pirate smile
Homely to most
She’s so proud of that tooth
She’ll boast of her victories
To you and me
Her face is a map
Of where she’s been
A tooth is missing
Scars on her chin
Mm
Pirate smile
Homely to most
She’s so proud of that tooth
She’ll boast of her victories
To you and me
Dressed as a boy to go to school
Cuz men get more
That’s the golden rule
Oh,
Let’s hit the high seas
Schooners love a man
Fight hard they’ll never notice
Live while you can
Pirate smile
Homely to most
She’s so proud of hat tooth
She’ll boast of her victory
To you and me
First one to battle
Last to give in
She loves nothing better
Than the thrill of the win
In the dual her rival stumbled
So she barred her breasts
As he stood bewildered
Her cutlass pierced his chest
Pirate smile
Homely to most
She’s so proud of that tooth
She’ll boast of her victories
To you and me
She met Jack
And her heart did melt
They sailed together
Gainst the Commonweatlth
Ahh
It’s almost over
Living on the run
The Tories are upon them
See their setting sun
One sad morning
It came to an end
Drunk on rum
A ship is hard to defend
Before the hanging
She caught is eye,
If you’d fought like a man
You wouldn’t have to die
Oh
Somehow she gains her freedom
She escaped the rope
She lives in every woman
Her survival gives us hope.
