Calico Jack Lyrics by Karliene

The Legend of Anne Bonny

2020

It was a borin'
Evenin'
Down at the tavern
My husband left for sea again
And I was sick of waitin'

Sick of drinkin'
And thinkin'
And questioning my measure
Then suddenly
A breeze came through the door

He was blindin'
Smilin'
The pirate, Jack Rackham
He tipped his hat and that was that
I was in love with him

Good lookin'
And charmin'
A winner with the women
Stealin ships and hearts in every port

Calico Jack
Calico Jack
I've never seen a man here
Lookin' like that

Calico Jack
You've met your match
Calico Jack
Won't you give me my heart back?

Hmm, Calico, Calico Jack
Hmm, Calico, Calico Jack

He said
'Oh, you're a fine looking woman'
He said
'How'd you like to comе away with me?'
I said
'Ok, I'm intrigued, I'm listenin'
But you should know I'm wеd to Jim Bonny'

He said:
"Oh really, Jim Bonny?
Word is he treats you badly!
A drunken fool who beats on you
No! Get out quickly
My darlin'
Stop-a-waiting
You're a ship made for sailin'!
Take the wheel and sail her out of port!"

He said
"Take the wheel and sail her out of port!"
He said
"Take the wheel and sail her out of port!"

Calico Jack
Calico Jack
I've never seen a man here
Looking like that

Calico Jack
You've met your match
Calico Jack
Won't you give me my heart back?

Hmm, Calico, Calico Jack
Hmm, Calico, Calico Jack
