Lyrics

It was a borin' evenin'
Down at the tavern
My husband left for sea again
I was sick of waitin'

Of drinkin' and thinkin'
And questioning my measure
Then suddenly a breeze came through the door

I watched him stride in
Smilin'
The pirate, Jack Rackham

He tipped his hat
And that was that
I was in love with him

Good lookin'and charmin'
A winner with the women
Stealin' ships and hearts in every port

He said
Oh, you're a fine lookin' woman
How'd you like to come away with me?

I said
Oh, you're the trouble I've been missin'
But, I regret to say I'm wed to Jim Bonny

He said, 'no problem
I'll pay him
I'll pay for you to ditch him
The man's a fool to leave you
And you're too good for waitin'

Anne Bonny, my bonny
My heart is yours for sailin'
Take my wheel and sail me out of port

He said
Oh, you're a rare kinda woman
The rarest find in all my years at sea

I said
Oh, you're treasure I've been seekin'
I'm done waitin' on that bastard Jim Bonny

So we went to pay him
And shame him
But, Jim, he was fumin'
He shunned the purse with a curse
Promised me a whippin'

By morning, I left him
To sail with Mr Rackham
And Jim was left with nothin'but his rage
Oh well

And Jack said
Oh, you're my kinda woman
Risking all to come and sail with me

I said
Oh, you're the treasure I've been seekin'
Come here and kiss me
And let's take it out to sea
