So here I lay in my 23rd year,
How I wish I was in Palm Beach now,
It's been 6 years since we sailed away
And I just made Palm Beach yesterday
Chorus
So here I lay in my 23rd year,
How I wish I was in Palm Beach now,
It's been 6 years since we sailed away
And I just made Palm Beach yesterday
Chorus
The Blackwater shook and pitched on her side,
How I wish I was in Palm Beach now,
Prince was smashed like a bowl of eggs
And the next volley carried off both me legs
The Blackwater shook and pitched on her side,
How I wish I was in Palm Beach now,
Prince was smashed like a bowl of eggs
And the next volley carried off both me legs
At length we stood two cables away,
How I wish I was in Palm Beach now,
Our tacti-cool rifles made an awful din
But with one fat brick the Cart stove us in
At length we stood two cables away,
How I wish I was in Palm Beach now,
Our tacti-cool rifles made an awful din
But with one fat brick the Cart stove us in
The Cartie lay low down with snow,
How I wish I was in Palm Beach now,
She was slim and trim and fast through the bays
But to catch her took the Blackwater two whole days
The Cartie lay low down with snow,
How I wish I was in Palm Beach now,
She was slim and trim and fast through the bays
But to catch her took the Blackwater two whole days
On the seventeenth day we sailed again,
How I wish I was in Palm Beach now,
When a bloody great Cartie hove in sight With our tacti-cool rifles we made the fight
On the seventeenth day we sailed again,
How I wish I was in Palm Beach now,
When a bloody great Cartie hove in sight With our tacti-cool rifles we made the fight
On the Don’s birthday we put to sea,
How I wish I was in Palm Beach now,
We were three days to Little Saint James
Lusting like madmen all the way
On the Don’s birthday we put to sea,
How I wish I was in Palm Beach now,
We were three days to Little Saint James
Lusting like madmen all the way
The Blackwater powerboat was a sickening sight,
How I wish I was in Palm Beach now,
She'd a list to the port and her deck to shame
And the cook in galley with his lolis and blow
The Blackwater powerboat was a sickening sight,
How I wish I was in Palm Beach now,
She'd a list to the port and her deck to shame
And the cook in galley with his lolis and blow
How I wish I was in Palm Beach now,
For twenty brave men all maggats who
Would make for him the Blackwater’s crew
How I wish I was in Palm Beach now,
For twenty brave men all maggats who
Would make for him the Blackwater’s crew
God damn them all!
I was told we'd cruise the seas for Cartel snow
We'd fire our guns-shed no tears
Now I'm a broken man on a Palm Beach pier
The last of Prince’s Privateers.
God damn them all!
I was told we'd cruise the seas for Cartel snow
We'd fire our guns-shed no tears
Now I'm a broken man on a Palm Beach pier
The last of Prince’s Privateers.
