Bloody Buccaneers

(album: Bloody Buccaneers - 1991)

Your love tells me how
Hey-la hey-la hey-lo
I scratch the morning with a diamond
Bucked the storm like a whore last night
I'm going after that Spanish Galion
Skull, bones and dangerous

I got a tattoo big, always saved my life
A burning heart with a stabbing knife
We swear by the bread and the wine
More serious than any divine

Hey-la hey-la hey-lo
Mexican silver, shining gold
Jewels, pearls and rum in the hold
I'm the alligator-law, chewing on your bait
Ransacking loading you from stern to gate
Last night I saw you against the moon
My beautiful princess white as snow
Nothing wrong about leaning on a shoulder
When you're outta breath

Ho ho let me escort you
And take you to my cabin down below

Ah, you bring the devil out in me
Ah you make me sin baby, sin baby
Again and again

Oh yeah bloody Buccaneer
The crew's plotting sharp for the prize
So I lock the door and leave a note outside
Any man break into this room
Better prepare for death and doom

I had my cutlass on her neck
Warm and white I told her
I'm a pirate from the Skeleton Isles
And I never forget the sweet things she said

Ah, you bring the devil out in me
Ah you make me sin baby, sin baby
Again and again
Oh yeah bloody Buccaneer
Mexican silver, Peruvian gold
