I'Ll Tell You A Tale

I still hear the sea
Calling out to me
It's been sixty years or more
I suppose you've come to me
For the story of Anne Bonny

They write that she was villainous, infamous
So full of sinfulness and wickedness
Crazy and scandalous
Ferocious
Void of all conscience and womanness
I still feel the ship rocking under feet
That happy smell of rum and brine
It was all I wished to be
I was free as Anne Bonny

And indeed I was villainous, infamous
Full of ambitiousness and willfulness
Wild and passionate
Courageous
Like a man I was limitless
And fearless

Oh I'll tell you a tale of a pirate queen
A she-wolf who reigned the Caribbean sea
With a pistol-a-ready and a cutlass keen
The villainous, infamous
Anne Bonny
