Written by Dennis DeYoung Lead Vocals by James Young
When Captain Jonas Psalter Sailed his ship to sea Anne Bonny kept him company
The skull and crossbones flew Above the ocean blue The captain's men where a pirate's crew
The ships they sought to take Were of the Spanish Main A gift from Ferdinand of Spain
And though you rob and kill to find your dream Your crimes are hardly what they seem
Tortuga held the treasure of a thousand kings So Jonas planned to steal everything
Two hundred men stood guard Around the fortune's nest But Psalter's steel slew all the rest
And when the smoke had cleared And bloody bodies lay Everyone could hear the minstrel play
Woo woo Jonas Psalter You've captured every prize There is to dream of in one life
And so we wonder why We found you in your bed With that bullet in your head
