Heave ho, heave ho

me hearty lads

a sailing we will go,

we will make our gain

on the Spanish Main,

a sailing we will go.

 

From Havana to Panama

we shall rape and we will plunder

those golden Spanish whores

we will take their gold,

they shall walk the plank

to Davy's locker they will go.

 

Spanish heads we will crack

Spanish virgins we will take,

no mercy do we give

no pennance do we make,

Spanish gold is our desire

and Spanish gold we will take.

 

Remember all you jolly jacks,

tell your kinfolk true

let every man live in fear of

the English Privateer.
