The Jolly Dodger

by Brant Risko

Way back in the old days 'Fore a lad like me were born The king of all the pirates Was named ol' Captain Mourn

Captained the Jolly Dodger They raided all the ports He sailed around the warships And teasing 'em for sport

Each night the dear old captain Would eat and drink his fill He never drank the good stuff He only drank the swill

One night when he'd been drinkin' He sailed between the caves He crashed the Jolly Dodger And it sank beneath the waves

Now legend says the Dodger Still escapes from where she moors 'Neath the waves in Ingoren's cradle And comes raiding off our shores

Ol' Captain Mourn still helms the wheel Through the shadows and the haze He'll sail the seas forever A ghost pirate for all his days
