about

What does one think of when the term pirate is mentioned? Capt. Jack Sparrow? Blackbeard? Capt. Hook? Capt. Morgan's spiced rum? Mmmmm spiced rum.
Anyway, this is a scurvy sea shanty written in 2022 about an 18th century female pirate from the emerald isle.

lyrics

Have you heard of Anne Bonny
Cut throat lass upon the sea
Have you heard of Anne Bonny
Banshee on the briney deep

Anne was a girl who was quick to anger
Ye dare not test her Irish temper
She was a lass of only thirteen
When she stabbed a maid and cut her cleanly

Have you heard of Anne Bonny
Banshee on the briney deep

Anne would we'd a lowly sailor
And for that her da disowned her
She spent her days in pirate taverns
There she met a seadog Rachtman

Have you heard of Anne Bonny
Banshee of the briney deep

They stole a ship and never looked back
Cause she loved the waves and her Calico Jack
With cutlass keen and cannon thunder
Anne Bonny would pillage and plunder

Now you've heard of Anne Bonny
Cut throat lass upon the sea
Now you've heard of Anne Bonny
Banshee on the briney deep
