Pynch Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 I don't know if it's truly pirate...but the mental images that Adam Ant's "Stand And Deliver" gives me the shivers. In a good way.

Capn_Enigma Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 How about this one: Victory from "The Pirate Movie" ? (Remember to click the "play" button) Although I think the movie sucked big time, the song is rather cool. The lyrics: Raise the flag of piracy, sing the song of victory Glorious in battle are we We've never known defeat, we never will retreat. We live to hear the cannon roar, And terror is our sempahore Victoriously loathsome are we, We rob the rich, the poor; then steal a little more. Chorus: Victory, we fight to win Victory is ours again We are the scourge of the land and sea Beastly pirates are we. Masters of the briny sea, We'll go down in history. Couragous men who live by the sword We deal in treachery, the kings of lechery. Raise the anchor, trim the sail We raid tonight if winds prevail Invincible we fight to the end United to a man, we need no battle plan. Chorus It's so pitable a sight, to see them walk the plank They squirm and cry for mercy regardless of their rank. Chorus Victory "The floggings will continue until morale improves!"

JoshuaRed Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 We Were Buccaneers by Hoyt Axton. Wicked cool slice of Americana and it grows on you. Whiskey In The Jar is great. The Flying Cloud is another terrific piece. Tom Waits also has a cut on his new cd called Hoist That Rag that just rocks. But bar none, the best thing going right now is Queen Anne's Revenge by Flogging Molly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackjohn Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 Whiskey in the Jar... Metallica... hehehe... anyone else see the irony in that combo? That was the first song I ever downloaded from Napster. Seemed like the right thing to do. As for pirate tunes... I guess I'm partial to The Downfall of Piracy attributed to the young Ben Franklin. Another of my favorites is The Jolly Town Rakes, from Wit and Mirth: Or Pills to Purge Melancholy by Thomas D'Urfey. While it's not about piracy, it is from the "Golden Age" time period. My Home on the Web The Pirate Brethren Gallery Dreams are the glue that holds reality together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trapper Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Actually, mate, the song was originally written by Don Freed, and the lyrics you're interested in were written by Tom Lewis. He has asked that any requests for lyrics be made to him personally, as he has registered them, and has given permission to a scant few people to perform them...Sir Nigel being one o' the favoured few. Myself bein' another. Tom's email address is seadog@netidea.com Fair winds, Trapper Captain of the Tinker's Damn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trapper Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Oh, and on the subject of "favourite pirate songs", a new fav of mine is "A Salty Dog" by Procol Harum. Great stuff!! Great album of the same name as well. Trapper Captain of the Tinker's Damn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trapper Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 I'm posting on this thread as well, so there's no confusion, since the original post of "Bein' a Pirate" was posted here before being copied off to another thread: Once again, I must say, that if you want the lyrics, it's only polite to contact the writer of them, since that's what he has stated he wants. The writer of the original song is Don Freed. The writer of the lyrics that everyone, at this point, knows, is Tom Lewis, up in Salmo, BC. You may recognize the name from the many fine albums of sea music he has put out. He has asked, very specifically, that if someone wants the lyrics, he is happy to provide them. All they need to do is send him an email at seadog@netidea.com, asking for them. Please refrain from posting the lyrics on this site, as I do know that is not something that he wants done. If you think I'm posting this frivolously, I would ask that you check his first album, Surfacing, and his latest album, 360, All Points of the Compass. I'm listed on both as a performer. He is a close friend of both mine and Sir Nigel's, and I would ask that you respect his wishes in this regard.

Silver Steele Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 This is a rather old song that I happened upon called "The Pirate's Serenade" by Geo. A. W. Langford Farie. I am unsure of the year on this, although it was found in the American Memory from the Library of Congress. Come, love, come, come away with me, My bark is on the glossy sea; The moon is bright, on ocean's breast, All, save the Pirate, is now at rest. See how she rides the crested foam, To bear thee, love, to the Pirate's home; Then fly, love, fly, do not delay, We must be gone before to-morrow's day. Come, love, come, &c I dare not stay on this hallow'd land, I must away to my pirate band; they restless sit, all side by side To hail thee, love, as the Pirate's Bride. Come, love, come, &c Tho' my voice is rough - oh! do not start, For true and soft is the Pirate's heart. Thy home shall be on some fairy land, And thou wilt be Queen of the Pirate's band. Come, love, come, &c Come, love, come - ah, why that stern brow She smiles, oh, who so happy as the pirate now. My arms will bear thee to "that thing of life" And this night thou must be the Pirate's Wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Steele Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 Oooh, I like it!! Any tune with it?Trapper No, there wasn't any tab with it, just a straight song sheet. A search on the name only brings up five listings, with one being for deadmentellnotales.com for the song being listed in the "Book of Pirate Songs". You might want to email them and see if the book includes the tab. If not, it's gonna be hard to find the tab for this as this song came out of the Library of Congress' 19th century rare book section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crimsoncrow Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 I would have to say, "Captain Ward" and "Mrs. Mcgraw". Oldies and goodies. The Jolly Rogers versions of both are well done. They even put cannon fire in the background during the battle verse of "Captain Ward". Sounds great on a good speaker system.

Captain Charlotte Savvy Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 Several favorites ... Favorite fun pirate song: "Scurvy" (cracks me up every time) Favorite movie pirate song: "Shiver My Timbers" (from Muppet Treasure Island ... yes, a kids' film, but it's SUCH a fun song, it really does give me chills when I hear it) General favorite sea shanty tune: "What Do We Do With A Drunken Sailor" (I know this is a song that EVERYbody in the entire world likes, because everyone in the entire world has heard it, but I really do love it) Favorite pirate song on General Principle: "Yo Ho, A Pirate's Life For Me" ('cause if it wasn't for PotC, I wouldn't have my piratical obsession ...) Favorite song in the whole world that has nothing to do with pirates but does, at least, have a reference to the ocean: "Jungle Love" by the Steve Miller Band "Pirates ... were of that old breed of rover whose port lay always a little farther on, a little beyond the skyline ... if they lived riotously let it be urged in their favor that at least they lived." ~ John Masefield Those who live by the sword, get shot instead.
