Three pirates came to London town, Yo ho! Yo ho!
Three pirates came to London town, Yo ho! Yo ho!
Three pirates came to London town
To see the king put on his crown,
Yo ho, you lubbers, Yo ho, you lubbers, Yo ho! Yo ho! Yo ho!

At first they came to a way-side inn
And said "Good landlord, let us in."

"Oh landlord, have you good red wine,
Enough to fill this cask of thine."

"Oh landlord, have you bags of gold,
Enough to fill the afterhold?"

"Oh yes, sirs, I have bags of gold
Enough to fill the afterhold."

"Oh landlord, have you daughters fair,
With laughing eyes and curly hair?"

"Oh yes, sirs, I have daughters fair,
With laughing eyes and curly hair."

"Oh landlord, will she marry me
And sail with me across the sea?"

"Oh yes, sir, she will marry you,
And sail with you across the blue."
