Karliene - Anne Is A Man At Sea lyrics

Dressed in a pair of calico pants
And a cutlass by my side
Off I sailed with Jack and his men
To live that pirate life

But a woman on a ship is a cursed thing
So a man I had to be
I couldn't care less to be free of corsets
As a man I felt like me

She can hoist the ropes and down the rum
Plough the briny sea
But a woman on a ship is scandalous
So Anne is a man at sea

Hoist the ropes and down the rum
Here a man be free
But a woman on a ship is scandalous
So Anne is a man at sea

So dressed in a pair of calico pants
And me red hair tied back low
They called me Tom, the pirate lad
And welcomed me aboard

But every night in his cabin
Jack and I would meet
'Cause, I still liked being a woman
His lover, Anne Bonny

She can hoist the ropes and down the rum
Plough the briny sea
But a woman on a ship is scandalous
So Anne is a man at sea

Hoist the ropes and down the rum
Here a man be free
But a woman on a ship is scandalous
So Anne is a man at sea

Dressed in a pair of calico pants
Did they doubt or did they know?
Did they catch Tom the pirate lad's
Belly start to grow?
