Written by Dennis DeYoung Lead Vocals by James Young When Captain Jonas Psalter Sailed his ship to sea Anne Bonny kept him company The skull and crossbones flew Above the ocean blue The captain's men where a pirate's crew The ships they sought to take Were of the Spanish Main A gift from Ferdinand of Spain And though you rob and kill to find your dream Your crimes are hardly what they seem Tortuga held the treasure of a thousand kings So Jonas planned to steal everything Two hundred men stood guard Around the fortune's nest But Psalter's steel slew all the rest And when the smoke had cleared And bloody bodies lay Everyone could hear the minstrel play Woo woo Jonas Psalter You've captured every prize There is to dream of in one life And so we wonder why We found you in your bed With that bullet in your head
