lyrics

Calico Jack,
Calico Jack,
Won't you tell me where you're allegiance is at.
Anne Bonny, sweet Anne Bonny,
I bow to no king, I am free.
Do you want to go now,
c'mon lets go now,
I want to show you the world, Anne Bonny,
Let it go now,
c'mon let it go now.
You don't need it all anyhow.

They said to find a better ship,
out with their new crew,
and nobody knew but at the time
Calico Jack brought Mary Read too.
Anne Bonny loved Calico Jack, oh so madly.
But her husband back in Nassau wasn't too happy,
He's gonna place a bounty!
He's gonna place a bounty!!
He's gonna place a bounty!!!
He's gonna place a bounty!!!!

With Jonathan Barnett on their trail
of empty treasure chests left behind,
Calico Jack and his crew continue into the night.
Without care or concern,
their treasures can always be burned.
There's always more is the only lesson learned.
Calico Jack tells Anne Bonny,
While holding Mary Read,
"Of all the gems on the sea, you're the one for me!
You're the one for me!"

Calico Jack,
Calico Jack,
You don't need anymore of this than you do that.
C'mon let's settle down now,
C'mon let's settle down now.
You don't need it all anyhow.
Oh Anne Bonny, sweet Anne Bonny
This is the only life for me.
Oh Anne Bonny, sweet Anne Bonny,
this is it, we are free.

They sailed to find another barrel of rum,
out with their new crew.
And nobody knew but at the time,
Jonathan Barnett was in port too.
Anne Bonny and Mary Read
did their best to fight off the attack.
But the rest of the crew was passed out drunk with
Calico Jack!
Calico Jack!
Calico Jack!!
Calico Jack!!!
Calico Jack!!!!

Calico Jack looks Anne Bonny and Mary Read in the eyes.
Without saying goodbye or giving a reason why.
Well Anne Bonny and Mary Read are both with child,
while Calico Jack waits at the gallows with a smile.
Calico Jack, Calico Jack,
won't you tell me why you wouldn't fight back,
you wouldn't fight back for your life, fight back for your life?!
Fight back for your life!
Fight back for your life!!
Fight back for your life!!!
