Oh I'll tell you a tale of a pirate queen

Villainous, infamous Anne Bonny

Born in Ireland scandalously

Bastard daughter

To a prosperous lawyer

Shunned suitor and society

For the love of a pirate boy

So Calico Jack and our Anne Bonny

Passioned lovers

Villainous plunderers

Sailed off for a life of piracy

On his ship, The Revenge, Ahoy

Oh I'll tell you a tale of a pirate queen

A she-wolf who reigned the Caribbean sea

With a pistol-a-ready and a cutlass keen

The villainous, infamous Anne Bonny

Villainous, infamous Anne Bonny

Villainous, infamous Anne Bonny

Villainous, infamous Anne Bonny

Villainous, infamous Anne Bonny

But this was the 18th century

Where men make knives

And women make wives

So Anne disguised herself to be

A deadly pirate boy

Oh she plundered and murdered and raised the sea

With canons roaring

Pistols warring

She ravaged galleons mercilessly

Oh Anne Bonny

Then a fellow pirate caught a glance

Her naked chest

A woman’s breast

So she drew her cutlass and took a stand

To be Anne the Pirate Queen

Oh I’ll tell you a tale of a pirate queen

A she-wolf who reigned the Caribbean Sea

With a pistol-a-ready and a cutlass keen

The villainous, infamous Anne Bonny

Villainous, infamous Anne Bonny

Villainous, infamous Anne Bonny

Villainous, infamous Anne Bonny

Villainous, infamous Anne Bonny

And that's when Anne met Mary Read

A pirate siren

Female tyrant

Together they terrorised the sea

A buccaneering team

Oh they plundered and murdered and raided the sea

With cannons roaring

Pistols warring

They ravaged galleons mercilessly

Anne and Mary Read

On October 1720

Gold they struck

So the boys got drunk

An easy oppurtunity

For a ship of British marines

Anne and Mary fought alone

With cutlass flying

Pistols firing

They fought hard for their own throne

But lost their victory

And so the crew were captured

Thrown in prison

Death by hanging

But Anne Bonny was pardoned

For her belly held a child

So she paid her Jack a visit

And this she said

With no tear shed

"if you had fought like a man

you wouldn't be about to die like a dog"

And she turned on her heel

Walked out of the door

And vanished

Into legend

Oh I'll tell you a tale of a pirate queen

A she-wolf who reigned the Carribean sea

With a pistol-a-ready and a cutlass keen

The villainous, infamous Anne Bonny

Villainous, infamous Anne Bonny

Villainous, infamous Anne Bonny

Villainous, infamous Anne Bonny

Villainous, infamous Anne Bonny
