Sixteen men on a dead man's chest

Will I see you tomorrow

Sixteen men and I'll see the rest

I won't beg, steal or borrow

I won't beg, steal or borrow

Well we sailed into the beach

And we were just out of reach

Of the forty-second squadron

When I heard the captain screech

Get down on the sand

Don't you waste no time

'Cause we gotta get that gold inside

Before it turns after nine

And the Buccaneer said I'll see you dead

I'll see you swinging from the yardarm

The buccaneer sang in a nasal twang

There's еnough gold here to start on

Therе's enough gold to get high on

Well the Captain he'd been told

Where they hid away the gold

And he told us to go dig it up

So that he could get it sold

But somebody had taken it

Before his very eyes

And he turned around and looked at me

And much to my surprise

And the Buccaneer said I'll see you dead

I'll see you swinging from the yardarm

The buccaneer sang in a nasal twang

There's enough gold here to start on

There's enough gold to get high on

Save me! Whoa, oh, oh, save me

Save me from

The Buccaneer

Save me! Whoa, oh, oh, save me

Save me from

The Buccaneer

Well I had to get away

So I swam into the bay

And I could hear him coming up

And I could hear him say

When I get hold of you

You won't even cry

'Cause I'll string you from the yardarm

And all you'll do is die

Well they got me on the deck

Put the rope around my neck

And I could feel the sweat break out

And I could feel it stick

But the Royal Navy frigate came

And rescued me at last

She put one across the bow

And fired one into the mast

And the Buccaneer said I'll see you dead

I'll see you swinging from the yardarm

The buccaneer sang in a nasal twang

There's enough gold here to start on

There's enough gold to get high on

And the Buccaneer said I'll see you dead

I'll see you swinging from the yardarm

The buccaneer sang in a nasal twang

There's enough gold here to start on

There's enough gold to get high on
