Bloody Buccaneers (G. Kooymans/B. Hay) 1991 Bloody Buccaneers


Scratch the morning with a diamond, bucked the storm like a whore last night
Goin’ after that Spanish Galleon, skull and bones and dangerous
I got a tattoo big, always saved my life, a burnin’ heart with a stabbin’ knife
We swear by the bread and the wine, more serious than any divine


Mexican silver, shining gold
Now jewels, pearls and rum in the hold


Alligator-law chewin’ on your bait, ransacking loading you from stern to gate
Last night I saw you against the moon, my beautiful princess white as snow
Nothing wrong about leaning on a shoulder when you’re outta breath
Let me escort you and take you to my cabin down below


You bring the devil out in me
You make me sin baby, sin baby
You bring the devil out in me again and again


Bloody Buccaneer


The crew’s plottin’ sharp for the prize, lock the door and leave a note outside
Any man break into this room, better prepare for death and doom
I had my cutlass on her neck, warm and white, I told her
I’m a pirate from the Skeleton Isles, I’ll never forget the sweet things she said


You bring the devil out in me
You make me sin baby, sin baby
You bring the devil out in me again and again


Bloody Buccaneer
