I was a pirate captain, on the sea my life was spent And my ship bore with beauty men with dark intent I ravaged all the vessels that had upon the sea And gave no quarter to the crews I laughed at every plea They sent three ships to find me, I was taken by blockade Executioner's dock is where I hung, and there my body stayed But my spirits is not dead, so do not say farewell But rather look for my return for I find no rest in hell And I was a gallant highwayman, on the hills my horse did fly With my sword and brace up pistols I did rob the passers by Many a lord and merchantmen, died as I plied my trade With every death and theft I became, the scourge of the king’s highway They sent a company of soldiers, who took me in a fight And the watching mob cheered lustily, when I hung from the scaffold high But my spirit is not dead, so do not say farewell But rather look for my return, for I find no rest in hell And I was a hunted outlaw, my six-gun spoke for me I’ve killed close to thirty men, some just to see them bleed I stalked the rails that cut the west, I’ve robbed many a train The telegraph spread news of me, they posted my face and name They sent a sheriff and his posse, who ran me to the ground And the dust filled my gaping mouth, when I hung in that tiny town But my spirit is not dead, so do not say farewell But rather look for my return, for I find no rest in hell And I was a famous gangster, wanted by the feds Because the blast of my tommy gun, left so many dead The papers called me the butcher and that name I surely earned I owned half the city, the other half I burned They sent the t-men after me, guilty the jury’s vote And the priest asked God’s mercy, as the noose bit into my throat But my spirit is not dead, so do not say farewell But rather look for my return, for I find no rest in hell And I'm a pirate once again, stalking the seas once more No press of sail above my head, but hear my engines roar My cannon are now rockets, my pistol an ak But I still steal those merchant ships, and make their owners pay They sent their navy’s destroyers, but they haven’t caught me yet And so I still hunt the waves, until my match is met And when that match is found, they’ll put me down once more And I’ll rise up just as I did a thousand times before
