Privateering - Mark Knopfler Yon's my Privateer see how trim she lies To every man a lucky hand and to every man a prize I live to ride the Ocean the mighty world around
To take a little plunder and to hear the cannon sound To lay with pretty women
to drink Madeira wine
to hear the roller's thunder on a shore that isn't mine Privateering we will go
Privateering Yoh oh ho
Privateering we will go
Yeah oh oh ho
The people on your Man'o war are treated worse than scum I'm no flogging Captain my God I've sailed with some Come with me to Barbary We'll ply there up and down
Not quite exactly in the service of the Crown To lay with pretty women to drink Madeira wine
to hear the roller's thunder on a shore that isn't mine Privateering we will go
Privateering Yoh oh ho
Privateering we will go
Yeah oh oh ho
Look here there's my Privateer she's small but she can sting Licensed to take prizes with a letter from the King I love the streets and taverns of a pretty foreign town
tip my hat to the dark eyed ladies as we sally up and down
To lay with pretty women to drink Madeira wine
to hear the roller's thunder on a shore that isn't mine Privateering we will go
Privateering Yoh oh ho
Privateering we will go
Yeah oh oh ho
Britannia needs her Privateers each time she goes to war
death to all her enemies No prizes matter more
Come with me to Barbary We'll ply there up and down
Not quite exactly in the service of the Crown I lay with pretty women to drink Madeira wine
to hear the roller's thunder on a shore that isn't mine Privateering we will go
Privateering Yoh oh ho
Privateering we will go
Yeah oh oh ho
