Tales From The Ridge

Long John's Lament...yarrr.

I've stole molasses in Caracas and bananas off Havana
I've pillaged from St Lucia to Beijing
But beers drunk in Tangiers and a sloop moored in Guadeloupe
Don't compensate fer lonely pirating

Me hat's from Montserrat, me beard be always freshly sheared
Me wooden leg be finest beech veneer
But the parrot on yer shoulder don't much console ye when ye're older
Why must I be a lonely buccaneer?
