Buccaneer Lyrics by McCully Workshop

Buccaneer

1998

Sixteen men on a dead man's chest
Will I see you tomorrow
Sixteen men and I'll see the rest

I won't beg, steal or borrow
I won't beg, steal or borrow

Well we sailed into the beach
And we were just out of reach
Of the forty-second squadron
When I heard the captain screech

Get down on the sand
Don't you waste no time
'Cause we gotta get that gold inside
Before it turns after nine

And the Buccaneer said I'll see you dead
I'll see you swinging from the yardarm
The buccaneer sang in a nasal twang
There's еnough gold here to start on
Therе's enough gold to get high on

Well the Captain he'd been told
Where they hid away the gold
And he told us to go dig it up
So that he could get it sold

But somebody had taken it
Before his very eyes
And he turned around and looked at me
And much to my surprise

And the Buccaneer said I'll see you dead
I'll see you swinging from the yardarm
The buccaneer sang in a nasal twang
There's enough gold here to start on
There's enough gold to get high on

Save me! Whoa, oh, oh, save me
Save me from
The Buccaneer

Save me! Whoa, oh, oh, save me
Save me from
The Buccaneer

Well I had to get away
So I swam into the bay
And I could hear him coming up
And I could hear him say

When I get hold of you
You won't even cry
'Cause I'll string you from the yardarm
And all you'll do is die

Well they got me on the deck
Put the rope around my neck
And I could feel the sweat break out
And I could feel it stick

But the Royal Navy frigate came
And rescued me at last
She put one across the bow
And fired one into the mast

And the Buccaneer said I'll see you dead
I'll see you swinging from the yardarm
The buccaneer sang in a nasal twang
There's enough gold here to start on
There's enough gold to get high on

And the Buccaneer said I'll see you dead
I'll see you swinging from the yardarm
The buccaneer sang in a nasal twang
There's enough gold here to start on
There's enough gold to get high on
