Wraggle, Taggle Pirate


Kalum

Recommended Posts

There were three pirates a come to my door,

And downstairs ran our lady, O!

One sang high and another sang low,

And the other sang bonny, bonny, Biscay, O!

Then she pulled off her silk finished gown

And put on hose of leather, O!

Then with pistol n' sword went out our door,

She's off with the wraggle taggle pirates, O!

It was late last night, when my lord came home,

Enquiring for his a-lady, O!

The servants said, at every hand,

She's gone with the wraggle taggle pirates, O!

O rig for me my white sailed ship,

Go and fetch me my cutlass, O!

That I may sail and without fail,

go after the wraggle taggle pirates, O!

He sailed East and he sailed West

He sail through the Straight and Cape Horn too

Until he came to the Spanish Main

And there he found his a-lady, O

What makes you leave your house and land?

What makes you leave your money, O?

What makes you leave your new wedded lord?

To go with the wraggle taggle pirates, O!

What care I for my house and my land?

What care I for my money, O?

What care I for my new wedded lord?

I'm off with the wraggle taggle pirates, O!

Last night you slept on a goose-feather bed,

With the sheet turned down so dainty, O!

And tonight you'll sleep on a cold open deck,

Along with the wraggle taggle pirates, O!

What care I for a goose-feather bed?

With the sheet turned down so dainty, O!

For to-night I shall sleep on cold open deck,

Kept warm by the wraggle taggle Captain, O!
