Jonas Psalter

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
