Cutthroat Life

Well I am not afraid to die in battle
blades of steel or cannon fire
I sail the sea and live for me
my freedom is but one desire

Men I’ve killed not on my conscience
I drown all my sins in rum
indulging in such guilty pleasures
I’ve no fear of kingdom come

Yo Ho! Heave Ho!
As a Pirate I am free
It’s a Cutthroat Life for me!

Well I staked my claim in the Spanish Main
as many others did the same
might have been poor where we was bore
but now we’re sure of wealth and fame

always quick to clear for action
quicker still with wench attire
lust for treasure live for pleasure
freedom is but one desire

Yo Ho! Heave Ho!
As a Pirate I am free
It’s a Cutthroat Life for me!

Call me thief or beggar, scallywag
or any name you choose to goad
As a Pirate I am free
it’s a Cutthroat Life for me

Well don’t tell me the rules you have
I live my life by the bretherens code
As a Pirate I am free
it’s a Cutthroat Life for me

Yo Ho! Heave Ho!
As a Pirate I am free
It’s a Cutthroat Life for me

YO HO!
