00:00Oh, the cannons were pumping, the shot rang clear
00:10Splinters of shrapnel flew far and near
00:13Fire broke out on the main deck's face
00:17The crew fought hard in this fiery embrace
00:20Hoist the flag, let the bounty come near
00:24Captain John Moore, our hearts filled with cheer
00:27For riches are waiting, the hole down below
00:30With silks from Venice, we'll steal the show
00:34The sea battle raged like a stormy tide
00:43But Ward led his men with fierce pirate pride
00:47The vessel before them, a merchant's delight
00:50Laden with treasures, oh, what a sight
00:54Hoist the flag, let the bounty come near
00:57Captain John Moore, our hearts filled with cheer
01:00For riches are waiting, the hole down below
01:04With silks from Venice, we'll steal the show
01:07The first prize stolen, a traitor of worth
01:11Second, a ship, oh, what mirth
01:13Gallies of slaves, their toil and their pain
01:18Liberties beckon, they'll sail forth again
01:21Hoist the flag, let the bounty come near
01:24Captain John Moore, our hearts filled with cheer
01:28For riches are waiting, the hole down below
01:31With silks from Venice, we'll steal the show
01:35Support of Algiers, with our fortunes in tow
01:38John Ward, the richest, steals all the gold
01:41With laughter and rum, we'll toast to our fate
01:45Life of a pirate, it's never too late
01:48Life of a pirate, it's never too late
01:49So raise your glass high for our captain so bold
02:06With tales of adventure and riches of gold
02:09From battles and storms, we'll sail on the breeze
02:12For a pirate's life is the life that we seize
02:16Life of a pirate, it's never too late
02:22You're on the vale
02:23Go ahead

02:26It's never too late
