The Gun Shanty
(Craig Lutke)

(Chorus)
Boom... the guns go as we roll a broadside
Boom... the guns go and the women run and hide
Because there´s no sin that we haven´t tried
Boom... the guns go ´cross the ocean blue and wide

Now many people say it´s a pirates life for me
Our cannons sink ships all across the raging sea
And then on shore we'll revel in debauchery
Boom... our guns go, better watch your booty.

We fired our guns on deck the other day
The Cabin Boy said he wanted to play
Had a question for me, this is what I had to say
You touch a man's guns, son, and people call you gay.

We spied a rich ship for whose booty we did yearn
We fired into her bow, which caused her to turn
The Captain shook his head, said "You've got alot to learn
If you wanna make her burn, shoot your gun into her stern"

Now why do you think that I shipped off to sea
When on shore, there´s many women left for me?
There´s a one-legged whore on the shore called Marie
Because of her, now it burns when I pee.

It´s good thing as a pirate, you don´t live very long
And as a young man, your cannon fires strong
But as an old man, something goes really wrong
You´ll have to take a pill just so it will play along

Boom... the guns go as we roll a broadside
Boom... the guns go and the women run and hide
Because there´s no sin that we haven´t tried
Boom... the guns go ´cross the ocean blue and wide
Boom... the guns go and the pirate´s swell with pride
Boom... the guns go. Would you like to take a ride?
