Villainous, infamous Anne Bonny

Summer of 1720

I found my call

as a pirate of the sea

Feared as any man

and brave as can be

A deadly pirate boy

Ah, I plundered and murdered

And raided the sea

I ransacked farms

on the isle of Haiti

I fired my pistol mercilessly

Oh how savagery suited me

But I was tired

of bluffing the lads

Tired of living behind a mask

Tired of hiding my love for Jack

Oh, to just be me

So I gathered my courage

And stood on the deck

I tore my shirt

and I bore my breasts

I said, "Fight me, drown me,

cut my neck

But I'll die as Anne Bonny"

Oh I'll tell you a tale

of a pirate queen

A she-wolf who reigned

the Caribbean Sea

With a pistol-a-ready

and a cutlass keen

The villainous, infamous

Anne Bonny

Villainous, infamous Anne Bonny

Villainous, infamous Anne Bonny

Villainous, infamous Anne Bonny

Villainous, infamous Anne Bonny

And so I held my breath

My fists clenched

And I caught Jack's eye

Nervously holding his head

Then a voice from the back

I heard someone laugh

Then two

Then three

Then four, maybe more

It became a roar

And Jack was laughing too

He said, "My darling, look at you

You're a pirate and you're home"

I'm home

No longer alone

I'm home

Oh I'll tell you a tale

of a pirate queen

A she-wolf who reigned

the Caribbean Sea

With a pistol-a-ready

and a cutlass keen

The villainous, infamous

Anne Bonny

Villainous, infamous Anne Bonny

Villainous, infamous Anne Bonny

Villainous, infamous Anne Bonny
