| A dreaded curse is spoken of by all men of the sea
|
| An ancient tale of pirate’s woe and sailor’s tragedy
|
| A map was drawn by grizzled men; |
| forgotten years ago
|
| A chest of glory and mortal sin that none should ever know
|
| And they searched, and they searched
|
| And they searched, and they searched
|
| For forbidden treasure old
|
| And this curse, and this curse
|
| And this curse, and this curse
|
| Shall forever now be told
|
| A pirate captain of many years had heard these whispers grim
|
| But lust for treasure and endless wealth had all but blinded him
|
| He hired a crew of hardy men to help him in his cause
|
| They never knew the danger of this bounty’s evil force
|
| And they searched, and they searched
|
| And they searched, and they searched
|
| For forbidden treasure old
|
| And this curse, and this curse
|
| And this curse, and this curse
|
| Shall forever now be told
|
| And they searched, and they searched
|
| And they searched, and they searched
|
| For forbidden treasure old
|
| And this curse, and this curse
|
| And this curse, and this curse
|
| Shall forever now be told
|
| Now stormy nights, when moon is full, will herald in their call
|
| A ghostly crew who loot and kill 'til all before them fall
|
| Now listen, lad, remember this, when foul winds blow agale
|
| Lest shadow come and write your name in adage to this tale |
