Chorus: Dm------F--------------------Dm And with tar on our pigtails, and blood on our rapiers ------Bb------------F---------------C We'll fly the skull and crossbones. By God, we'll take no prisoners. ------F-----Dm-------------F---------------Dm ('Tis) hi ho a-way, boys; we'll sail for Traigh-li Bay, boys, Bb------------------------C7-----F Hoist the Jolly Roger, at the break of day. From up the crow's nest, then, called our third mate Mister Flynn, "Set the course and hold her steady, and for action make her ready – There's a Spanish galleon off our starboard bow;" We raised the black flag high, as that Spaniard turned to fly; We followed in her wake, 'til we could overtake, And dismasted her with chain shot and cannon ball. Chorus We pulled up along side with our grappling hooks and lines, Guns and cutlasses in hand, on the gunnels we did stand; Every sailor from the captain to the cabin boy; Saw three dead the chain had flayed; as we raised and crossed our blades, To their mates we gave our best, as the sun sank in the west, With pikes and swords, pistols, fists and feet. Chorus From the darkness till the dawn, that battle rag-ed on, We fought with manly fitness, for we meant to leave no witness; We lost Mister Flynn and one leg from the cabin boy; But with their treasure we retired, and their canvas we set fire, Left them sinking in the deep, where their silent bones can sleep, And we forged a leg of gold for the cabin boy. Chorus 'Twas August and still warm, when to Traighli we returned. Fifty-eight days on the Main; we've no need to sail again; We've gold and silver more than we can spend; Now half a century has passed, and of that crew I am the last; Fifty years I've walked these docks, and when I get a chance to talk I tell of how I got this golden leg!

I am SO disturbed at all this hostile, intemperate language flying back and forth between Iron Roger and Scarface Rufus! Now boys, settle down, or I shall be forced to sally forth, as it were, slap both your faces, take you by the ears and knock your heads together till you agree to get along decently as good gentlemen of fortune should! You may have heard of my ship, the Pink Pearl, renowned all across the Spanish Main. She's outfitted with the prettiest set of sails you ever saw, in bright coral pink, and her upper works are trimmed with avocado piping around the gilded decorations. My crew are a fine set of lads, not a missing tooth among the lot, and they're outfitted in chartreuse leggings that just have to be seen! I don't allow this sort of abusive language to be used aboard the Pink Pearl, and I don't suffer it easily when ashore either. Really, now, would you want your mothers to hear you talk that way??? I thought not. Let's be well behaved and all get along, shall we? By the way, you have no doubt heard of my father, the famous Blue Peter? He personally captured 35 galleons, 12 sloops, 3 frigates, 17 pinnaces, 1 galleass, and a barge full of dugongs during his unrivalled career. Well, that should smooth things over. I hope to share some reminiscences and a joke or two with both of you over a nice glass of absinthe some time in Tortuga or Port-au-Prince. Or tea at Percival's perhaps? Tally Ho, lads!

26 Sep 03 - 03:46 AM (#1025044) Subject: RE: BS: talk like a pirate day From: HuwG "Mad Dog Read" 'ere, in pedant mode. "Grog" is the Royal Navy's term for pure rum diluted with four parts water, and issued by pursers aboard. The term "Grog" itself is derived from Admiral Vernon, a stern disciplinarian who was known as "Old Grogram" by association with this stiff, unbending material. (Obviously, Vernon deprecated having seamen lying about half dead from privately acquired rum, usually pure firewater, and so made it an official, strictly controlled ration issue). Where was I ? Oh, I remember. Essentially, no self-respecting pirate would admit to drinking Grog (unless they had been discharged from, or deserted from, the Royal Navy). End pedant mode. Is such sea-lawyering punishable by marooning, keel-hauling, being triced up to the yardarm, or just having me vittles stapped ? |

27 Sep 03 - 11:42 AM (#1025638) Subject: RE: BS: talk like a pirate day From: The O'Meara The standard for pirate talk and behavior was set by Robert Newton, mentioned above by Big Pink. As Long John Silver in "Treasure Island," he was the pirate with (perhaps)a soft heart, but in "Blackbeard" he had no redeeming features whatsoever, consistently charmed his own crew into fatal activities, and talked his way out of a major mutiny or two. He introduced the all-purpose pirate word "Arrrgh" to the public with immortal phrases like "Arrrgh, Main-yard, ye kilt me best hack 'n slash man..." and "Arrrgh, its a fine buxom wench ye are..." (A lot of that seafaring jargon came from the poor Irish sailors who were hired or shanghied onto those ships. "Bucko" for instance came from the Irish "me Buchal" and so on. You can see the patterns.) "Blackbeard" should be required viewing for anyone interested in pirate speech and behavior. I saw it as a kid, and I'll never forget the last scene in which Blacbeards crew buried him up to his neck on the beach and watched the tide come in.

My merry crew and my plucky ship are capable of marine choreography that will leave you breathless and lying on your beam ends. We're loading our long irons with chain shot this very minute and dancing and prancing in delight at the thought of the havoc we will wreak upon your leaky scows! Still, I am willing to give you both one more chance at redemption. I will accept a humble apology (if it is couched in properly respectful language). We can then meet for a nice libation at Percival's, where they have the best dancers in the whole Caribbean. Otherwise, I regret to say that your seafaring days are approaching their penultimate finale. C'est la vie! Please be judicious in your choices. The Pink Pearl awaits you! Mauve Peter p.s. Consider giving up all this "ARRRR!", and "ye" and "avast" nonsense. It makes you sound crude and lacking in subtlety. You'll never get a royal pardon and a knighthood by carrying on in such a fashion. I intend to retire as a Grand Duke and live in the lap of luxury after I have sacked Panama and plundered the Spanish treasure fleet, which I have promised myself to accomplish prior to reaching age 40. |

11 Sep 05 - 09:10 AM (#1560979) Subject: RE: BS: talk like a pirate day From: GUEST,leeneia Thought I'd share my favorite pirate tale. Read it from an ancient school book when I was about 10 years old. --------- The Inchcape Rock by Robert Southey No stir in the air, no stir in the sea, The ship was still as she could be, Her sails from heaven received no motion, Her keel was steady in the ocean. Without either sign or sound of their shock The waves flow'd over the Inchcape Rock; So little they rose, so little they fell, They did not move the Inchcape Bell. The Abbot of Aberbrothok Had placed that bell on the Inchcape Rock; On a buoy in the storm it floated and swung, And over the waves its warning rung. When the Rock was hid by the surge's swell, The mariners heard the warning bell; And then they knew the perilous Rock, And blest the Abbot of Aberbrothok. The Sun in heaven was shining gay, All things were joyful on that day; The sea-birds scream'd as they wheel'd round, And there was joyaunce in their sound. The buoy of the Inchcape Bell was seen A darker speck on the ocean green; Sir Ralph the Rover walk'd his deck, And he fix'd his eye on the darker speck. He felt the cheering power of spring, It made his whistle, it made him sing; His heart was mirthful to excess, But the Rover's mirth was wickedness. His eye was on the Inchcape float; Quoth he, 'My men, put out the boat, And row me to the Inchcape Rock, And I'll plague the Abbot of Aberbrothok.' The boat is lower'd, the boatmen row, And to the Inchcape Rock they go; Sir Ralph bent over from the boat, And he cut the Bell from the Inchcape float. Down sunk the Bell with a gurgling sound, The bubbles rose and burst around; Quoth Sir Ralph, 'The next who comes to the Rock Won't bless the Abbot of Aberbrothok.' Sir Ralph the Rover sail'd away, He scour'd the seas for many a day; And now grown rich with plunder'd store, He steers his course for Scotland's shore. So thick a haze o'erspreads the sky They cannot see the Sun on high; The wind hath blown a gale all day, At evening it hath died away. On the deck the Rover takes his stand, So dark it is they see no land. Quoth Sir Ralph, 'It will be lighter soon, For there is the dawn of the rising Moon.' 'Canst hear,' said one, 'the breakers roar? For methinks we should be near the shore.' 'Now where we are I cannot tell, But I wish I could hear the Inchcape Bell.' They hear no sound, the swell is strong; Though the wind hath fallen they drift along, Till the vessel strikes with a shivering shock,¯ 'Oh Christ! It is the Inchcape Rock!' Sit Ralph the Rover tore his hair; He curst himself in his despair; The waves rush in on every side, The ship is sinking beneath the tide. But even in his dying fear One dreadful sound could the Rover hear, A sound as if with the Inchcape Bell, The Devil below was ringing his knell. |

As for talking like a software or video pirate: "Well, I see we're several seconds short on the ending. Just sell it anyway. Nobody really cares how this turkey ends." |

A great many Pirates were from Somerset. Have a good look around some of the graveyards in Somerset - the stones with no inscriptions and the scull& crossed bones in each corner - that will be a pirate! |

26 Aug 08 - 06:53 AM (#2422301) Subject: RE: BS: talk like a pirate day From: Bee-dubya-ell You see, open mike, one of the basic tenets of Pastafarianism (followers of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster are known as Pastafarians) is that there's a direct correlation between the increase in global warming over the last few hundred years and the decrease in pirates*. By actively participating in Talk Like a Pirate Day, we are also helping save the planet. *There are those who claim that there are actually more pirates on the seas today than at any other time in history. But those aren't real pirates. They don't say "Arrr!" and drink rum. They're nothing but the seagoing equivalent of muggers and carjackers. |

26 Aug 08 - 09:18 AM (#2422397) Subject: RE: BS: talk like a pirate day From: Rapparee Of course! TLAPD is sacred and must be celebrated appropriately. Rum, cutlasses, wenches (or wrenches for the wenches), marooning, carooming, plundering, and rum are all appropriate. |

27 Aug 08 - 05:28 AM (#2423129) Subject: RE: BS: talk like a pirate day From: The Walrus Am I correct in assuming that TLAPD approaches? If this day is held as a holy day by the CFSM (Pastafarians), then surely they must also honour "'Saint' Robert Newton of Mummerset", the man who gave pirates their distinct accent and habit if speaking only in the present tense. So I turns to face execution dock at Wappin', I raises me glass an' I drinks to the memory o' pirates past. W |

18 Sep 08 - 09:35 PM (#2444611) Subject: RE: BS: talk like a pirate day From: Charley Noble This song was just forwarded to me via Bob Zentz and does reflect the spirit of the occasion: Talk Like A Pirate Day (Words and Music: © 2003 by Tom Smith) Most days are like all of the others, Go to work, come back home, watch TV, But, brother, if I had me druthers, I'd chuck it and head out to sea, For I dream of the skull and the crossbones, I dream of the great day to come, When I dump the mundane for the Old Spanish Main And trade me computer for rum! ARRR! T' me,...Yo, Ho, Yo, Ho, It's "Talk Like A Pirate" Day! When laptops are benches God gave us fer wenches, And a sail ain't a low price ta pay! When timbers are shivered and lillies are livered And every last buckle is swashed, We'll abandon our cars for a shipfull of ARRRs And pound back the grog till we're sloshed! Yo ho.... Don't pick up yer phone and say "Hello, Our ten-o-clock meeting's delayed", Ye scrunch up yer face and ye bellow, "AVAST! Ye've been bleedin' BELAYED!" Ye can't keep this fun to yerself, I bet, So sing "Aye!" "ARRR!" "Ayy!" every man! We ain't got much grasp of the alphabet, But a damn good retirement plan! T' me,...Yo, Ho, Yo, Ho, It's "Talk Like A Pirate" Day! Whatever's in fashion is in for a thrashin' And bein' polite is passe! When it's ev'ry man's duty to grab his proud beauty And let out a hearty YO HO! And if this offends you, hold y'r breath as we sends you Ta Davy Jones' Locker ya go! Yo ho.... We'll tell every banker "Heave to and weigh anchor!" Buy latte with pieces of eight We'll fight to be chosen as cap'n or bosun The loser, o' course, is worst mate! When we hoist Jolly Roger, the landlubbers dodge 'er, We fill 'em with loathing and fear, We'll plunder and pillage each city and village, Or at least clean out Wal-Mart of beer! There ain't no computin' or morning commutin', No "Parking Lot Full" signs for me, No lawns ta be mowin' or bills to be owin', I'm knowin' the pull of the sea. The fresh salty brace of the wind on my face Through hurricane, sunshine or squalls, I'm keepin' my eyes on the distant horizon, Verizon can hold all my calls! To wear a red coat full o' buckles, To earn a few duelling scars, Well, at least we can get a few chuckles By filling the office with ARRRs! And maybe we'll never get closer, Than watchin' 'em on the big screen, So here's to old Errol and Depp as Jack Sparrow, And every damn one in between! T' me, Yo, Ho, Yo, Ho, It's "Talk Like A Pirate" Day! That time in September when sea dogs remember That grown-ups still know how ta play! When wenches are curvy and dogs are all scurvy And a soft-wear patch covers your eye, Ta hell with our jobs, for one day we're all swabs And buccaneers all till we die! So hoist up the mainsils and shut down your brain cells, They only would get in the way, Avast there, me hearty, we're havin' a party, It's "Talk... Like... A Pirate" Day! Cheerily, Charley Noble |
