Barbary Shores

Barbary shores hot island sun
Palm shade sand tide line
Rolling roaring far sea quest
Buccaneer's buckling begun
Exotic pearls and fabrics fine
Daring metal of manly test

Speed through night tide
Fill sail in storm power
To broadside on high sea
Under full cloud to hide
Where ocean waves tower
To set golden dreams free

Bring rum for hard fight
Lead ball for gun
Strap on cutlass and sword
Leap out from dark night
Scream in from dawn sun
To make havoc and steal our reward
