Pirate Jim No Mass

this is a tale that made a pirate soggy
so about your tears fore' the crew eats you like bait
a tale o' hurt
the cause a bonnie lass flirt
filthy but tender are at the heart
of this this tales innermost content

ol' cap'n jim he was once a ships monkey
no crimp or doubloon could lead this man astray
fore jim would one day be a pirate
with gold tooth he'd never deny it
a black sail of his own would he posses one day

so jim did grow
burly beard full of spat
with a cutthroat crew they sailed the seas and let fly thier frigate
leaving no free to remember
thier jolly roger
never again to see light they'd say "ballast be o'er day"

then one day a cable jettisened ol cap'n jim
a fluke set his piratical acts
her name was o'clare and wih a wisp captured that seadogs lip n' fancy
they met but she alone conquered
hip with switch she doctored
leading like a simple galley

and it was alone he now ventured
fore she made haste with a two fold booty
cap'n jim mutineered
taken by a wenches eyes
no ship
cup o' coins
or bonnie lass to lessen a broken hearts levy

if love were clap in irons this would be jim's fate
for after she was done it was love's prison he'd marry

one day she was less than a whisper
cap'n jim's heart a reef in a lone vesper
drifting
with no ship
jack o' staves
nor man of war for a buccaneer to prey
