John Paul Jones is a Pirate lyrics

(Set feet, row!) {Continues throughout}

John Paul Jones is a pirate

No loyalty does he possess

Keep it up we'll catch the pirate

And sink him along with the rest

(Ho!)

Set feet, row!

Set feet, row!

Set feet, row!

Set feet, row!

Born the son of a Scot, he was

Born the son of a Scot

But cut a man down in his prime, he did

So away to Virginia he got

(Oh!)

John Paul Jones is a pirate

No loyalty does he possess

Keep it up we'll catch the pirate

And sink him along with the rest

(Ho!)

Set feet, row!

Set feet, row!

Set feet, row!

Set feet, row!

Raise the flag of the Yanks, he did

Raise the flag of the Yanks

They hailed him as a hero, they did

And hoisted him up through the ranks

(Oh!)

John Paul Jones is a pirate

No loyalty does he possess

Keep it up we'll catch the pirate

And sink him along with the rest

(Ho!)

Set feet, row!

Set feet, row!

Set feet, row!

Set feet, row!

Sailed at the head of the French, he did

Sailed at the head of the French

But they swindled him out of his cash, they did

So away from them all he did wrench

(Oh!)

John Paul Jones is a pirate

No loyalty does he possess

Keep it up we'll catch the pirate

And sink him along with the rest

(Ho!)

Set feet, row!

Set feet, row!

Set feet, row!

Set feet, row!

Set feet, row!

Set feet, row!

Set feet, row!

Set feet, row!

Now he's kicking up storms in the Black Sea, he is

Kicking up storms in the Black Sea

Fighting the Turks for the Russian Queen

'Cause she pays him much more than the Yankee

(Oh!)

John Paul Jones is a pirate

No loyalty does he possess

Keep it up we'll catch the pirate

And sink him along with the rest

(Oh!)

John Paul Jones is a pirate

He may be just a chancer at best

Keep it up we'll catch the pirate

And sink him along with the rest

Ho!
