Blackbeard’s Ghost Lyrics by Jesse Rice

The Pirate Sessions

2011

[Verse 1]
I had one to many the night before
And I needed to clear my pounding head
So I headed on down to the Eastern coast
Sunrise, Carolina sky was painted red
Well the wind went whipping around my face
And the boats on Juniper bay were deathly still
Nothing marking time but the crashing waves
And the grand white lighthouse on the hill

[Chorus]
When I saw Blackbeard's ghost in the fog off Ocracoke
Like a rainy Sunday morning in 1704
Was he looking for buried treasure?
Or a broken heart from long ago?
Cause he left both off the coast of Pamlico

[Verse 2]
Legend tells he walked the plank alone
Others swear he took six bullets straight to hell
By the hand of Captain Maynard on that cold November morn
And now he roams the beach all by himself

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
And some say they see the lights flickering on the sound
He's out there every night trying to chase the devil down

[Chorus]
