DEAD PIRATE SONG - Dead men DO tell tales This poor dead pirate may have been a bastard in life, but all he wants now is to be left alone in death. Words and music by Sal Bonavita 1975 All my songs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbmvz4FQx8o&list=PLHY191GepMDlGUZKfHqPYMcUkpF9WDqit LYRICS [verse 1] Please, please go away Please don’t molest my grave I’ve been punished enough for the things that I did They even dug up all the treasure I hid I know I was just a mad murderous swine But please don’t bury that body on top of mine [verse 2] Though the grass has covered the place where I lie I can still remember the day that I died In my back was thrust a sharpened harpoon They disposed of my body by the light of the moon The worms had their fill but I died to soon Go and find your own grave, in this one there isn’t much room [Chorus] I remember the days of sun and adventure, The salty wind blowing my hair We’d plunder the trade ships of cargo and gold Black flag hoisted high in the air In the old Spanish ports I’d share bottles of rum With scurvy dogs, cut throats and thieves With a Yo Ho and a smelly old crew We’d sail the open seas ---------- But now that I’m dead leave me alone, go away please [Verse 3] Do you know what it’s like being here underground? I can’t move my legs and I can’t make a sound But my spirit can see you digging up there, Disturbing my rest and polluting the air I don’t need companionship here in this hole Leave me alone, allow me to rest my soul About this song A strange little ditty about a dead pirate getting disturbed in his grave. I wrote this song in India in 1975 and have only played it to a very limited audience. Until now that is. Now the whole world knows how bent I really am. I originally uploaded this song on YouTube in 2006. Like many of my earlier videos, I was not happy with the sound quality. So here it is again. 2006 version of this song https://youtu.be/N37QWea7yWc ______________________________ ..// //WATCH NEXT: Freight Train lesson: https://youtu.be/2SQnONcnXsA Annie's song - https://youtu.be/Y34oRHDt4_M Feelings - https://youtu.be/eE_suKEwJn4 Yesterday - https://youtu.be/rRmZgVMlskU Classical Gas - https://youtu.be/zOzVNC14b8Y The Godfather - flamenco stylehttps://youtu.be/ZsQYYiWT6Ms Take Five - https://youtu.be/4qRhbGJB6gQ La Playa - https://youtu.be/ejBnFm1msPk //KEYWORD RESEARCH TOOL (Tubebuddy) https://www.tubebuddy.com/hersoveela //CAMERA AND AUDIO GEAR I USE: - My video camera - https://amzn.to/3ptTVfD - My audio recorder - https://amzn.to/3ov876O - My microphone - https://amzn.to/2YspSsQ DISCLAIMER: Links in this description may be affiliate links.
