00:00Oh, gather around me, hearties, let me tell you a tale
00:04Of a last name, Mary Reed, who set out to sail
00:09Born of a widow's cunning, dressed like a lad
00:14In the shadow of the sea, it's adventure she had
00:19Yo-ho, Mary Reed, with courage so bold
00:24Across the mighty ocean, her story unfolds
00:29From the life of a soldier, to the pirate's decree
00:34In the lore of the ocean, forever shall be
00:39Along came a soldier, a Flemish so fine
00:45In secret they married, in the shadows they dined
00:51But the fates they were harsh, with fortune untold
00:56When he fell to the grave, her heart turned to gold
01:01Yo-ho, Mary Reed, with courage so bold
01:06Across the mighty ocean, her story unfolds
01:11From the life of a soldier, to the pirate's decree
01:16In the lore of the ocean, forever shall be
01:22A ship to the Indies, where fate would be sealed
01:26When pirates attacked, she showed them her skills revealed
01:31With swords drawn in battle, with swords drawn in battle
01:34She fought through the fray
01:36Mary Reed, to the pirate's decree, to the pirate's decree
01:40Mary Reed, with courage so bold
01:42Yo-ho, Mary Reed, with courage so bold
01:46Across the mighty ocean, her story unfolds
01:51From the life of a soldier, to the pirate's decree
01:56In the lore of the ocean, forever shall be
02:01With that body beside her, under the flag of Jack
02:06They whispered her treasures, as they plotted their track
02:11Two lovers of fortune, sailing through the night
02:16Together they would dance, beneath the pale moonlight
02:21Yo-ho, Mary Reed, with courage so bold
02:22Yo-ho, Mary Reed, with courage so bold
02:26Across the mighty ocean, her story unfolds
02:31From the life of a soldier, to the pirate's decree
02:36In the lore of the ocean, forever shall be
02:41But captured they were, when the gallows drew near
02:46With a secret they held, they'd foretell of their fear
02:51Pregnant and weary, they delayed their own doom
02:56In the dark of the prison, Mary met her gloom
03:01Yo-ho, Mary Reed, with courage so bold
03:06Across the mighty ocean, her story unfolds
03:11From the life of a soldier, to the pirate's decree
03:17In the lore of the ocean, forever shall be
03:22So raise up your glasses, to the tails of the sea
03:27To Mary and Anne, forever wild and free
03:32In the hearts of the brave, their spirits shall dwell
03:37Marry Reed, the pirates, we remember you well
