The Jolly Rogers
The Pirate Ship Midnight
We’ve powder and steel shot and small arms to spare
With the promise of strong winds and weather so fair
So load up your pistols and sharpen your blades
‘Cause the pirate ship Midnight’s recruiting today

We’ll hit the West Indies when the sails they unfold
And we’ll fill the whole ship with pure Spanish gold
You’ll all help us out making every ship pay
‘Cause the pirate ship Midnight’s recruiting today

[Chorus]
The pirate ship Midnight, you’ve all heard her tale
She lights the sea afire every time she sets sail
Her cannons shoot thunder and then it rains gold
Her crew lives forever and never grows old!

There’s barrels of whiskey and rum for each man
And each gets his fair share if ye stick with the plan
Now you can get rich and drink your nights away
‘Cause the pirate ship Midnight’s recruiting today

We’ve forty-two cannon they gleam and they shine
So we’ll blow ‘em to Hell once we’ve robbed ‘em all blind
Then we’ll laugh and we’ll toast as we sail away
‘Cause the pirate ship Midnight’s recruiting today
[Chorus]
The pirate ship Midnight, you’ve all heard her tale
She lights the sea afire every time she sets sail
Her cannons shoot thunder and then it rains gold
Her crew lives forever and never grows old!

We’ll come home burdened with gems and with jewels
And we’ll laugh at those lubbers and call them all fools
So if you’re a coward then here you should stay
‘Cause the pirate ship Midnight’s recruiting today

When we come home the girls will line the pier
And as we unload you will hear them all cheer
If you have the mettle then do not delay
‘Cause the pirate ship Midnight’s recruiting today

Yes the pirate ship Midnight’s recruiting today
Come make your mark and we’ll find our prey
‘Cause the pirate ship Midnight’s recruiting today
