about
This the story of possibly the worst pirate in all of history. Not Blackbeard, not the Dread Pirate Roberts, but the Dread Pirate Bob.
lyrics
It's aweigh, aweigh, aweigh, it's Bob
And it's Aweigh, Aweigh Dread Pirate Bob
There's a sourge upon the sea, His name is Pirate Bob
Scouring the seven seas for galleons to rob
He'll bury your ship and sink your gold
Date your sheep and stampede your girl
He's the worst pirate in the world
aweigh, aweigh, aweigh, it's Bob
And it's Aweigh, Aweigh Dread Pirate Bob
Then one day he came upon an unprotected town
He looked on with morbid glee as canonballs rained down
But as the rubble fell,
"What the heck?" He cursed
He had blown the town to hell and forgot to pillage first
aweigh, aweigh, aweigh, it's Bob
And it's Aweigh, Aweigh Dread Pirate Bob
He came upon merchant ship all alone at sea
And he said "Come on me boys, this time the rum's on me!"
But when they caught up to their prey
they had been drinking rum all day
And invited them all to the "Boarding Party"
aweigh, aweigh, aweigh, it's Bob
And it's Aweigh, Aweigh Dread Pirate Bob
Dread Pirate Bob met his end his crew did mutiny.
When made him walk the plank and jump into the sea.
For the cabin boy had set his heart awhirl.
Around his head the sea did swirl
But he didn't know the laddie was a girl
aweigh, aweigh, aweigh, it's Bob
And it's Aweigh, Aweigh Dead Pirate Bob
