[Verse]
Come and join with Captain CCoulston, that Dmhero stout and Cbold
Who Dmfought his Cway all Fon the sea and Dmnever was controlled
For six long weeks in summer Cgales, we Dmsailed upon the Csea
All Dmbound for CNew York FCity, that Dmcity fair to see
[Verse]
The captain and his laCdy, they Dmcame on deck each Cday
To Dmhelp us Cwith our Fmerriment, going Dmto Amerikay
The merriment being Cover, we're Dmgoing to bed one Cnight
The Dmcaptain Che came Fup on deck to Dmsee if all was right
[Verse]
He said, "My boys, do Cnot go down, you Dmneed not think on Csleep
For Dmin a few Chours Fmore, we shall be Dmslumbering in the deep
For a pirate ship is Abcoming down uDmpon the western Csea
To Dmrob us Cof our Fproperty, going Dmto Amerikay"

The pirate ship came up to Cus and Dmordered us to Cstand
"DmYour gold and Cprecious Floading, this Dmmoment I demand
Your gold and precious Cloading, reDmsign to me this Cday
Or Dmnot a Csoul you'll Fever bring unDmto Amerikay"
[Verse]
The battle it commenced, brave Cboys, and Dmblood in streams did Cflow
While unDmdaunted Cdid our Fpassengers, the Dmpirate overthrow
The cries of women and Cchildren, lying Dmin the hull beClow
While the Dmcaptain Cand his Fpassengers, the Dmpirate did overthrow
[Verse]
The pirate ship surCrendered, just Dmby the break of Cday
And we Dmbrought her Cas a Fbounty unDmto Amerikay
