Terry Allen - Pirate Jenny lyrics
[Terry Allen - Pirate Jenny lyrics]
Around, around the world
She'll take your money
Just to take your last penny
Ah, Jenny's a pirate girl
Her despicable crew will be waiting for you
In the alley outside the bar
They'll take your last penny
And then sweet Jenny
Will cut your throat with a
Soft "harty har har"
Yes, she'll take your life
With the blade of her knife
From ear to ear, dark blood will flow
Pump out of your heart
Through your throat to the street
Cross the stones, down the gutter
To the sewer below
And pirate Jenny in her black ship she sails
Around, around the world
Must be a storm in her heart
That sets her apart
And made her a pirate girl
Ah, the flag on her mast
Is as black as her past
And waves it's foul curse at the sky
While Jenny below has her boot heel in toe
On the neck of a captured wench who must die
Though her ransom was paid
The fate of this maid
Is in the beauty of her lips, breasts
And thighs now Jenny won't brook
Such a hot lusty look
On a ship where she commands every "aye, aye
Aye"
And pirate Jenny in her black ship she sails
Around, around the world
Some flaw in her soul or her sex down below
Must have kept her a pirate girl
Pirate Jenny, bad girl buccaneer
Who'd just as soon kill every
Man that she knows except maybe Captain Kid
And those things that he did
That curled up her cute little toes
She faced a nasty French fleet
And met the dashing John le Fete
On the battle for booty on
The bloody Spanish main
And like the hiss of a soft kiss
And the twist of your air
In the midst of the smoke in the mist
She just disappeared
Never to be heard from again
