The Pirate Queen
We fought them on the Spanish Main,
With flashing sword and gun.
A bright and colourful picture we,
As we made those rascals run.
We were the pirates brave and true.
We fought our battles bold.
I still see us stood upon the deck,
With our bodies flashing gold.
I loved you then as I love you now.
The people marvelled so.
'She's a woman' went the whispers.
'How could they make her go? '
But 'they' didn't make me, no one did.
I stood beside my man.
As I've stood beside you lifetimes since,
Then we've slept upon the sand.
It's still the case this lifetime.
I'm always here for you.
Whatever you have said or done,
You're still my pirate true.
