Oh, I used to be a farmer and I made a living fine,
I had a little stretch of land along the city line
But time went by and though I tried, the money wasn`t there
And bankers came and took my land and told me fair is fair
I looked for every kind of job, the answer always `no`
Hire you now, they`d always laugh, we just let twenty go!
The government, they offered me a measly little sum
But I`ve got too much pride to end up just another bum.
And so I thought who gives a damn if all the jobs are gone
I`m gonna be a PIRATE! on the river Saskatchewan!
Chorus:
And it`s a heave-ho! hi-ho!
Coming down the plains
Stealing wheat and barley and all the other grains
And it`s a ho-hey! hi-hey!
Farmers bar your doors when you see the Jolly Roger on Regina`s mighty shores.
Arr!
Well you think the locals farmers would know that I`m at large
But, just the other day I found an unprotected barge
I suck up right behind them and they were none the wiser,
I rammed their ship, and sank it, and I stole their fertilizer!
A bridge outside of Moosejaw spans a mighty river
The farmers pass in so much fear, their stomachs are a-quiver
Because the know that TRACTOR JACK! is hiding in the bay,
I`ll jump the bridge and knock them cold and sail off with their hay!
Chorus
Well Mountie Bob he chased me, hey was always at my throat
He`d follow on the shoreline `cuz he didn`t own a boat
But cutbacks were a-coming so the mountie lost his job
Now he`s sailing with me and we call him Salty Bob.
A swingin` sword, and sull n` bones, and pleasant company
I never pay the income tax and screw the GST- SCREW IT!
Prince Albert down to Saskatoon, I`m the terror of the sea
If ya wanna reach the Co-op, boy, you gotta get by me!
Chorus
Arrrrr matey! Get it? Metis? Ha-ha, that`s Riel-ly funny! You know? Louis Riel?
Well, pirate life`s appealing. but you don`t just find it here
I`ve heard that in Alberta, there`s a band of bucchaneers
They roam the Athabasca, from Smith to Fort McKay
And you`re gonna lose your stetson if you have to pass their way
Well winter is a-coming and a chill is in the breeze
Our pirate days are over when the river starts to freeze
I`ll be back in springtime, but now I have to go,
I hear there`s lots of plundering down in New Mexico!
