Oh, I'll tell you a tale of a pirate queen (ah)
A she-wolf who reigned the Caribbean Sea (ah)
With a pistol-a-ready and a cutlass keen (ah)

Born in Ireland, scandalously
Bastard daughter, to a prosperous lawyer
Shunned suitor and society
For the love of a pirate boy

So, Calico Jack and our Anne Bonny
Passioned lovers, villainous plunderers
Sailed off for a life of piracy
On his ship, The Revenge, ahoy!

Oh, I'll tell you a tale of a pirate queen (oh-oh)
A she-wolf who reigned the Caribbean Sea (oh)
With a pistol-a-ready and a cutlass keen (oh-woah)
The villainous, infamous Anne Bonny

But, this was the 18th century
Where men make knives and women make wives
So, Anne disguised herself to be
A deadly pirate boy

Oh, she plundered and murdered and raided the sea
With canons roaring, pistols warring
She ravaged galleons mercilessly
Oh, Anne Bonny

Then a fellow pirate caught a glance
Her naked chest, a woman's breast
So, she drew her cutlass and took a stand
To be Anne, the Pirate Queen

Oh, I'll tell you a tale of a pirate queen (oh-oh)
A she-wolf who reigned the Caribbean Sea (oh)
With a pistol-a-ready and a cutlass keen (oh-woah)
The villainous, infamous Anne Bonny

Villainous, infamous, Anne Bonny (hey-ey-ey)
Villainous, infamous, Anne Bonny (ey)
Villainous, infamous, Anne Bonny (hey-ey-ey)
Villainous, infamous, Anne Bonny (ey)

And that's when Anne met Mary Read
A pirate siren, female tyrant
Together they terrorised the sea
A buccaneering team

Oh, they plundered and murdered and raided the sea
With canons roaring, pistols warring
They ravaged galleons mercilessly
Anne and Mary Read

On October 1720
Gold they struck, so the boys got drunk
An easy opportunity
For a ship of British marines

Anne and Mary fought alone (oh)
With cutlass flying, pistols firing (oh)
They fought hard for their ocean throne (oh)
But, lost their victory (oh)

And so the crew were captured (ooh)
Thrown in prison, death by hanging (ooh)
But, Anne Bonny was pardoned (ooh)
For her belly held a child (ooh)

So, she paid her Jack a visit (ooh)
And this she said, with no tear shed (ooh)
"If you had fought like a man" (ooh)
"You wouldn't be about to die like a dog"

She turned on her heel
Walked out of the door
And vanished
Into legend

Oh, I'll tell you a tale of a pirate queen (oh-oh)
A she-wolf who reigned the Caribbean Sea (oh)
With a pistol-a-ready and a cutlass keen (oh)
The villainous, infamous Anne Bonny
