Privateering - Mark Knopfler

Lyrics
words to study

Yon’s my privateer

See how trim she lies

To every man a lucky hand

And every man a prize

I live to ride the ocean

The mighty world around

To take a little plunder

And to hear the cannon sound

To lay with pretty women

To drink Madiera wine

To hear the rollers thunder

On a shore that isn’t mine

Privateering we will go

Privateering, yo ho hoho

Privateering we will go

Yo ho ho, yo ho ho

The people on your man o’ war

Are treated worse than scum

I’m no flogging captain

And by God I’ve sailed with some

Come with me to Barbary

We’ll ply there up and down

Not quite exactly

In the service of the Crown

To lay with pretty women
