Versuri The Last Saskatchewan Pirate
I used to be a farmer, and I made a living fine,
I had a little stretch of land along the CP line
But time went by and though I tried, the money
wasn't there
And bankers came and took my land and told me
fair is fair
I looked for every kind of job, the answer always
no
Hire you now? they'd always laugh, we just let
twenty go!
The government, the promised me a measly little
sum
But I've got too much pride to end up just
another bum.
Then I thought, who gives a damn if all the jobs
are gone?
I'm gonna be a PIRATE on the river
Saskatchewan!!!
(Arrr! Arrr! Arrr! Arrr! Arrr!!)
Cause it's a heave-ho, hi-ho, comin' down the
plains
Stealin' wheat and barley and all the other
grains
It's a ho-hey, hi-hey farmers bar yer doors
When ya see the Jolly Roger on Regina's mighty
shores
Well, you'd think the local farmers would know
that I'm at large
But just the other day I found an unprotected
barge
I snuck up right behind them and they were none
the wiser,
I rammed their ship and sank it and I stole their
fertilizer!
A bridge outside of Moosejaw spans a mighty river
Farmers cross in so much fear their stomachs are
a-quiver
Cause they know that TRACTOR JACK is hiding in
the bay
I'll jump the bridge and knock them cold and sail
off with their hay!
Cause it's a heave-ho, hi-ho, comin' down the
plains
Stealin' wheat and barley and all the other
grains
It's a ho-hey, hi-hey farmers bar yer doors
When ya see the Jolly Roger on Regina's mighty
shores
Well, Mountie Bob he chased me, he was always at
my throat
He'd follow on the shoreline cause he didn't own
a boat
But cutbacks were a-coming and the Mountie lost
his job
And now he's sailing with us, and we call him
Salty Bob!
A swingin' sword, a skull and bones and pleasant
company
I never pay my income tax and screw the GST
(SCREW IT!!)
Prince Albert down to Saskatoon I'm the terror of
the seas
If you wanna reach the co-op, boy, you gotta get
by me!
Cause it's a heave-ho, hi-ho, comin' down the
plains
Stealin' wheat and barley and all the other
grains
It's a ho-hey, hi-hey farmers bar yer doors
When ya see the Jolly Roger on Regina's mighty
shores
Arrrr, Metis! Get it? Matey? (Hey, that's Riel-ly
funny! You know, Louis Riel?)
Well, Pirate life's appealing but you just don't
find it here,
I've heard that in Alberta there's a band of
buccaneers
They roam the Athabaska and sail to Fort McKay
And you're gonna loose your stetson if you have
to pass their way!
Well, winter is a-comin' and a chill is in the
breeze
My Pirate days are over once the river starts to
freeze
I'll be back in springtime but now I have to go
I hear there's lots of plundering down in New
Mexico!
Cause it's a heave-ho, hi-ho, comin' down the
plains
Stealin' wheat and barley and all the other
grains
It's a ho-hey, hi-hey farmers bar yer doors
When ya see the Jolly Roger on Regina's mighty
shores
Cause it's a heave-ho, hi-ho, comin' down the
plains
Stealin' wheat and barley and all the other
grains
It's a ho-hey, hi-hey farmers bar yer doors
When ya see the Jolly Roger on Regina's mighty
shores
When ya see the Jolly Roger on Regina's mighty
shores...
