_ _ I used to be a farmer, and a lady [G] in the country.
I had a little [A] stretch of land along the seedy lot.
[D] The times were hard and though I tried, the money wasn't fair.
And bankers came and took my land and told me fair is [Bm] fair.
I looked for every kind of [Em] job, the answer always no.
[Bm] Hire you now, they'd always [A] laugh, we'd just let pointy go.
The government, they [Em] promised me a measly little sum.
[Bm] But I got too much pride to end up [A] just another bum.
_ _ [G] Then I thought, who gives a damn if all the jobs are gone?
[E] I'm going to be a pirate on the [A] River _ [A] _
Saskatchewan.
_ [E] Arrghhh! _
_ _ [B] _ _ [N] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ So it's a heave, ho, [D] hey, ho, coming down the place.
Stealing weeds and barley [A] and all the other grains.
And [Bm] it's a ho, hey, hey, [D] hey, farmers by your doors.
When you see the Jolly Roger on the China's mighty shores.
Arrghhh! _ _
You'd think the local farmers would know the time at large,
but just the other day I saw an unsuspecting guard.
I snuck up right behind him, but they would not know either.
I rammed the ship and sank at an ice cold fertilizer.
[Bm] A bridge outside of [Em] Moose Jaw spans the mighty river.
[Bm] Farmers crossing so [A] unfearless, their stomachs are a whole river.
[Bm] As they know the tractor [Em] jack is waiting in the bay.
[Bm] I'll jump the bridge and knock [A] them cold and sail up with their hay.
Arrghhh!
Cause it's a heave, ho, [G] hey, ho, coming down the place.
Stealing weeds and barley [A] and all the other grains.
[Bm] And it's a ho, hey, hey, hey, farmers by your doors.
When you see the Jolly Roger on [D] the China's mighty shores. _
_ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _
Arrghhh!
Melty Bob, he chased me, he was always at my throat.
[G] He followed on the shoreline [A] cause he didn't own a boat.
[D] But cut back for a coming and the melty lost his job.
So now he's sailing [A] with me and we call him Salty [Bm] Bob.
A swinging sword, a sculling boat, and [Em] pleasant company.
I never pay my income [A] taxes through the GST.
[Bm] Arrghhh!
From Albert down to Fafka to the terror of the sea.
If you want to reach the co-op, boy, you [A] gotta get by me.
Cause it's a heave, ho, hey, [D] ho, coming down the place.
Stealing weeds and [A] barley and all the other grains.
And it's a [Bm] ho, hey, hey, hey, [D] farmers by your doors.
When you see the Jolly Roger on the China's mighty shores.
Arrghhh!
[G] You salty dog!
Arrghhh!
You [C] salty cat!
You salty moose!
Arrghhh!
You salty [D] Mozart!
[C] Oh!
_ [D] _ _ [C] _ _
Old pirate life's appealing but you don't just find [G] it here.
I heard that in [D] Alberta [A] there's a band of buccaneers.
They roam the Anabasca, the Port Macay.
And you're bound to lose your snips if you hand [D] them past their way.
Well, when [Bm] pirates are coming [Em] and the chill is in the breeze.
My pirate days are over once the river starts [Bm] to freeze.
I'll be back in springtime [Em] but now I've got to go.
[Bm] I hear there's bloodsum [A] plundering down in New Mexico.
[Bm] Cause it's a heave, ho, hey, ho, coming down [G] the place.
Stealing weeds [A] and barley and all the other grains.
And [Bm] it's a ho, hey, hey, hey, [D] farmer's pirate hours.
When you see the Jolly Roger on Regina's mighty shores.
And it's a heave, ho, hey, ho, coming down the place.
Stealing [C#] weeds and barley and all [G] the other grains.
And it's a ho, hey, hey, hey, farmer's pirate hours.
When you see the Jolly Roger on Regina's mighty shores.
When you see the [D] Jolly Roger on [A] _ Regina's mighty _ _ shores.
