Lyrics
When Captain Jonas Psalter
Introduction of Captain Jonas Psalter
Sailed his ship to sea
He set sail on his ship
Anne Bonny kept him company
Anne Bonny accompanied him
The skull and crossbones flew
Symbol of piracy displayed
Above the ocean blue
Above the blue sea
The captain's men were a pirate's crew
His crew were pirates
The ships they sought to take
They targeted Spanish ships
Were of the Spanish Main
From the Spanish Main (territory)
A gift from Ferdinand of Spain
Gifted by Ferdinand of Spain
And though you rob and kill to find your dream
Committing crimes for ambition
Your crimes are hardly what they seem
The crimes appear less severe than reality
Tortuga held the treasure of a thousand kings
Tortuga held immense treasure
So Jonas planned to steal everything
Jonas planned to steal it all
Two hundred men stood guard
Two hundred guards protected the treasure
Around the fortune's nest
Guarding a fortune
But Psalter's steel slew all the rest
Jonas defeated all guards
And when the smoke had cleared
After the battle
And bloody bodies lay
Many dead bodies
Everyone could hear the minstrel play
Music played amidst the aftermath
Woo woo Jonas Psalter
Celebration of Jonas's victories
You've captured every prize
Acknowledgment of his accomplishments
There is to dream of in one life
All dreams achieved in one lifetime
And so we wonder why
Questioning the unexpected end
We found you in your bed
Discovery of Jonas dead
With that bullet in your head
His demise by a bullet
