Adapted from the old 1800s English folk song "The Pirate Ship."
(She had a dark and a-rovin` eye-uh-eye and her hair hung down in ring-a-lets)
(She was a nice girl, a proper girl butone of the rovin` kind)
As I cruised out one eve-e-ning upon a night`s career
I spied a lofty clipper ship and to her I did steer
I heisted out my sig-a-nals which she so quickly knew
And when she saw my bunting fly she imme-diately hove to-woo-woo
(She had a dark and a-rovin` eye-uh-eye and her hair hung down in ring-a-lets)
(She was a nice girl, a proper girl butone of the rovin` kind)
I took her for some fish and chips and treated her so fine
And hardly did I realize she was the rovin` kind
I kissed her lips, I missed her lips and found to my surprise
She was nothin` but a pirate ship rigged up in a dis-guy-eye-ise
(She had a dark and a-rovin` eye-eye-eye)
And her hair hung down in ring-a-lets
(She was a nice girl, a proper girl butone of the rovin` kind)
So, come all ye good sailor men who sail the wintry sea
And come, all ye apprentice lads, a warnin` take from me
Beware of lofty clipper ships, they`ll be the ruin of you
For `twas there she made mewalk the plank and pushed me under, too-ooh-ooh
(She had a dark and a-rovin` eye-uh-eye and her hair hung down in ring-a-lets)
She was a nice girl, a proper girl butone of the rovin` kind
