The Pirate Song (Poor Christopher Kueberth)

by Jara Jones

/

lyrics

poor christopher kueberth
the pirate
more dreaded than death
met his fate
to the gallows he calls
come
listen in
drink deep from your glasses
the dirge that I'm singing's
a tale for ye all

chorus
with the wave of his cutlass
his cannons did fly
women were witless
to the wink of his eye
each township he plundered
for riches and rye
would have paid anything
to see the rogue die

young christopher kueberth
the pirate
born rich as the holes in his pockets
he ran to the sea
like a moth to a candle
he'd say with a vengeance
the gold that you wear
would look smashing on me

chorus

fair christopher kueberth
the pirate
well known
for his work
with the wenches
the thrust of his life
was to court the young lassies
and strip all their money
but funny he chose her
the commodore's new wife

the township of women
from strumpet to governess
jealous, embittered
they hatched up a plan
and by nightfall two officers
seized the rogue pirate
the women found vengeance
the law found their man

damned christopher kueberth
the pirate
before he was hung by the neck
he said mean you well
mister chief of the gallows
your face, patient, solemn
but the rest of you bastards
I'll see you in hell

chorus X2
