One day they asked me

Boy what will ye be

I said I’ll be a pirate and I’ll sail the sea

They laughed and they chuckled and they just shook their heads

Said you can’t do that boy choose a business instead
Em Bm D
So I followed their advice and I played by the rules

But deep in my heart I knew that they were fools
Chorus 1 (2X)

I said I’ll be a pirate one day that I swear

I’ll MEET YOU ON THE POOP DECK
FROM “BE A PIRATE!”
WORDS AND MUSIC BY THOM MESROBIAN
COPYRIGHT 2020 ROGUE STAGE, LLC
I remember the day I was sailing the cape
When we saw three ships a closing
Blacker than night me heart full with fright
For our little ship they had chosen
To sink us and strip us of all of our gold
And send us to the locker
Our powder was wet, from ice cold sweat
And the captains off his rocker
He said:
Shiver me timbers and blow the man down
I’ll meet you on the poop deck
Take hold of your booty, We don’t want to drown
I’ll meet you on the poop deck
Pick up your peg legs and move your doubloons
And I’ll meet you on the poop deck
Old Davy Jones is calling us home
I’ll meet you on the poop deck
We hoped he’d see reason but he charged us with treason
When we said the ship was sinking
He called us mad cowardly scaly wags
For our wretched stinking thinking
The cannons hit hard soon the ships hull was scared
The crew was screaming and crying
That’s when the captain repeated his daft plan
And told us to start climbing
He said....
Shiver me timbers and blow the man down
I’ll meet you on the poop deck
Take hold of your booty, We don’t want to drown
I’ll meet you on the poop deck
Pick up your peg legs and move your doubloons
And I’ll meet you on the poop deck
Old Davy Jones is calling us home
I’ll meet you on the poop deck
Well as it happens the plan of our captain
Was not a very good one
For when the ship sinks it’s a great fool that thinks
There’s some place that you can run
As our captain soon found there’s no high ground
When sinking’s your only option
What was once on the top has gone belly up and the poop decks on the bottom.
He said....
Shiver me timbers and blow the man down
I’ll meet you on the poop deck
Take hold of your booty, We don’t want to drown
I’ll meet you on the poop deck
Pick up your peg legs and move your doubloons
And I’ll meet you on the poop deck
Old Davy Jones is calling us home
I’ll meet you on the poop deck

Ballad of BlackHeart Bart
Music and Lyrics By Thom Mesrobian
Copyright 2022 Rogue Stage LLC
Am Em Am Dm G Am 2X
Am Em Am Em
Here tell the story far and wide of a creature not a man
Dm G Am
Who cursed the sea by sailing it and with his evil hand
Dm G Am
Gathered all the lazy jacks and swashers of the land
Am Em Am
The admiral of the Black was he and all he touched was damned
Am Em Am Em
His first voyage upon the waves was fouler than his breath/He Sailed from
Dm G Am
Scotland in a baldie and yet he was a threat
Dm G Am
By Hisself he fought a ship and and oh they were mismatched
Am Em Am
Any picaroon who wouldn’t kneel would dance with old Jack Ketch.
Dm G Am
Show a leg all ye Jack Tar’s prepare for Dover's cliffs
Dm G Am
Bring a spring upon her cable and watch the boom about
Dm G Am
Mind that there rip rap, Helmsman how’s your head
C G Am
For the sea belongs to Blackheart Bart and soon we’ll all be dead
Am Em Am Em
We scarcely dare to speak his name in whispers all ahush
Dm G Am
But history will proclaim his deeds and all of those he’s crushed
Dm G Am
The buccaneer who ruled with fear and ripped the sea apart
Am Em Am
The scum of Scotland vile and mean the one named black heart bart
Dm G Am
Show a leg all ye Jack Tar’s prepare for Dover's cliffs
Dm G Am
Bring a spring upon her cable and watch the boom about
Dm G Am
Mind that there rip rap, Helmsman how’s your head
C G Am
For the sea belongs to Blackheart Bart and soon we’ll all be dead
Am Em Am Em
Upon his hand a single ring he’d spin in evil thought
Dm G Am
A silver skull and crossbones was seen by all he fought
Dm G Am
With a beard down to his belly and eyes that glowed dark red
Am Em Am
If you ever saw the devil smile, well you’re as good as dead
Am Em Am Em
So to you swabs and Buckos, ye pirates of the sea
Dm G Am
If you’re thinking of deserting or maybe mutiny
Dm G Am
Scupper that and hard about you’d better change your mind
Am Em Am
For there never was a man like Bart who swung the cat of nine
Dm G Am
Show a leg all ye Jack Tar’s prepare for Dover's cliffs
Dm G Am
Bring a spring upon her cable and watch the boom about
Dm G Am
Mind that there rip rap, Helmsman how’s your head
C G Am
For the sea belongs to Blackheart Bart and soon we’ll all be dead
