Last Saskatchewan Pirate
[00:00.41] Well, I used to be a farmer
[00:02.01] And I made a living fine
[00:04.14] I had a little stretch of land
[00:06.01] Along the CP line
[00:07.59] But times went by
[00:08.92] And though I tried
[00:09.71] The money wasn't there
[00:11.31] And the bankers came
[00:12.63] And took my land
[00:13.43] And told me, "Fair is fair"
[00:15.29] I looked for every kind of job
[00:17.17] The answer always "no"
[00:18.76] "Hire you now?"
[00:19.83] They'd always laugh
[00:20.88] "We just let 20 go"
[00:22.48] The government
[00:23.28] They promised me
[00:24.07] A measly little sum
[00:25.94] But I've got too much pride
[00:26.99] To end up just another bum
[00:29.67] Then I thought
[00:30.46] "Who gives a damn
[00:31.79] If all the jobs are gone?"
[00:33.92] I'm gonna be a pirate
[00:36.57] On the river Saskatchewan
[00:41.89] And it's a heave-ho
[00:43.75] Hi-ho, comin' down the plains
[00:45.88] Stealin' wheat and barley
[00:47.47] And all the other grains
[00:48.79] It's a ho-hey, hi-hey
[00:50.66] Farmers bar yer doors

[00:59.96] Well, you'd think
[01:05.26] The local farmers
[01:06.32] Would know that I'm at large
[01:07.91] But just the other day
[01:08.97] I found an unprotected barge
[01:11.10] I snuck up right behind them
[01:12.70] And they were none the wiser
[01:14.29] I rammed their ship and sank it
[01:15.61] And I stole their fertilizer
[01:17.49] A bridge outside of Moose Jaw
[01:19.35] Spans a mighty river
[01:20.42] Farmers cross in so much fear
[01:22.28] Their stomachs are a-quiver
[01:23.62] 'Cause they know that
[01:24.93] Captain Jack is hidin' in the bay
[01:26.96] I'll jump the bridge
[01:28.02] And knock them cold
[01:28.82] And sail off with their hay

[01:50.26] Well, Mountie Bob
[01:54.77] He chased me
[01:55.57] He was always at my throat
[01:56.90] He'd followed on the shoreline
[01:58.24] But he didn't own a boat
[01:59.83] But cutbacks were a-coming
[02:01.42] And the mountie lost his job
[02:03.01] So now he's sailing with me
[02:04.86] And we call him 'Salty Bob'
[02:06.46] A swingin' sword
[02:07.53] A skull and bones
[02:08.32] And pleasant company
[02:09.66] I never pay my income tax
[02:11.24] And screw the GST
[02:12.85] Sailing down to Saskatoon
[02:14.43] The terror of the sea

[02:38.62] Well, pirate life's appealing
[02:43.94] But you just don't find it here
[02:45.79] I hear that in north Alberta
[02:47.12] There's a band of buccaneers
[02:48.71] They roam the Athabaska
[02:50.57] From Smith to Fort McKay
