...which he says is a sea shanty...

Also, Robert Plant talks about English and American folk music, sort of.

I think it might be time to retire Barrett's Privateers, for a while ....

Garnet's Homemade Beer
I was told that Ian heard the original and between sets went backstage and wrote this in very short time.

How about an update?


EPSTEIN’S PERVERTEERS

(Ghislaine's Lament)

Oh the year was 20 and 21
Can I go back to the island now?
When the DOJ came to my door
And not to admire my décor.

        God damn them all, I was told
        We’d pay them off with American gold
        Face no guns, shed no tears
        Now I’m stuck in jail for years and years
        The last of Epstein’s Perverteers

I met Jeffrey in New York
Can I go back to the island now?
I was innocent and naive
And oh, the lies I did believe!

        God damn them all...

Jeffrey said to find for him
Can I go back to the island now?
Forty sweet young virgins who
Would let me teach them what to do

        God damn them all...

I found a bunch of willing girls
Can I go back to the island now?
I taught them how to do massage
For him and all his entourage

        God damn them all…

I sold my tale to the Daily Mail
Can I go back to the island now?
I only slept with Jeffrey once
Don’t you believe those lying . . . runts

        God damn them all...

Now here I sit in a Texas jail
Can I go back to the island now?
Wondering when will I get free
Only a puppy to cuddle me

        God damn them all, I was told
        We’d pay them off with American gold
        Face no guns, shed no tears
        Now I’m stuck in jail for years and years
        The last of Epstein’s Perverteers

Note: According to The Guardian, “An inmate who trains puppies to become service dogs was instructed to provide one to Maxwell... so she could play with the puppy, even though neither inmates nor staff are ordinarily allowed to pet the service dogs in training." 11/16/25
