Pirate in life
Good man at heart
Nearly broke me
When we had to partTo the sea
He chose to go
Sailing away from me
Away from homeDriven by greed
They used to say
To provide for family
He wanted one dayMake a name
For himself he did
In the big wide world
But there was no needI waited every day
For my love to come back
Came to the port in the bay
Never saw him on any deckHe always wrote me
A letter a year
Though more than anything
I wanted him near
