KARLIENE

Lyrics

Now I’m old with many a child
I can see I’ve lived many lives
The one I remember fondest of all
Was the life of Anne Bonny

They tell my tale with staggering flair
Some crazed female beyond all prayers
Is she real or is she lore?
Where lies her heart?

I still see the pelicans fly
I still hear the ocean at night
I still see Jack’s eyes
And Mary by my side

Oh I’ll tell you a tale of a pirate queen
A woman who loved
A woman who lived

Oh I’ll tell you a tale of a pirate queen
A she-wolf who reigned
The Caribbean Sea
With a pistol-a-ready
And a cutlass keen
The villainous
Infamous
Anne Bonny
