Old Buccaneer (Live in Canada, 1972)

歌詞

sissie wouldn't believe when I told her the old man was gone the one who lived all alone in the shack on the shore that's so hard to find, so har to go past he used to light our cigarettes and never tell anyone he had blue tattoos and he'd tell us tall stories from the bottom of a rum glass he's got things to see on the spanish main he's gone away for awhile he's gone skullduggering on the spanish main he's gone away far away thought I heard sails creaking as the stars paled anchor chains clinking as the night failed way out on the bay no one else knows how he crowed when they crowned him king of the cannibal isles or how he'd really feel blind drunk at the wheel through a high hurricane he could dupe the devil at dice and charm charmers whit his beguiling smile how he fell in love in Lima and a schemer stole his pearly girl and broke his heart again now all the foes he killed call him in to fight with their beckoning bones and all the gold he stole sparkles in the morning light his sweet ladies are all alone sissie dear let's not go near the church today the big bells tolling the hearse goes rolling the holy joes pray as they lay him away lived one too many winters cold cold weather had to sail down to the south sea waters warm his old bones there let an old man go through let an old man go through
