The 'female pirate version' mentioned a dozen years ago, or one like it, is on youtube here The poster didn't know who the singers were. lyrics: The Navy would never have a lass at sea Away Santy Ano! So I went in search of piracy All on the coast of Mexico And now we sail the southern seas And we'll have those navy lads on their knees CH. So heave her up and away we'll go Away Santy Ano! To Mexico where the warm winds blow All on the coast of Mexico. In Mexico I want to be With a cask of rum on a drinking spree Them native lads I do adore With their eyes that shine and coal-black hair CH. When I was a young lass in me prime I had them Irish lads two at a time But I'll never leave the sea to settle down When I can have a lad in every town CH. Oh the times is hard and the wages low But we pirates must all roll and go * (I'm not entirely sure about the last line) Hugh
