Bloody Bess

She sailed the seven seas
With a dagger in her hand
She brought the old world to it’s knees
And lived to sail again
And lived to sail again

Bloody Bess, Bloody Bess—seventeenth century piratess
B-b-bloody Bess, Bloody Bess
Bloody Bess, Bloody Bess—seventeenth century piratess
B-b-bloody Bess, Bloody Bess

Bloody Bess and her first mate Anne
More than a match for a seaworthy man
Captured kingdoms full of treasures
Kingdoms full of hearts

But she never got caught
She was just too smart
And too bloody, bloody Bess

Bloody Bess, Bloody Bess—seventeenth century piratess
B-b-bloody Bess, Bloody Bess
Bloody Bess, Bloody Bess—seventeenth century piratess
B-b-bloody Bess, Bloody Bess....

Once more into the breach
Bloody Bess
Raise your cannons high
Nothing out of your dagger’s reach
Bloody Bess
Nothing but heaven and the sky

Fearfully respected by her motley pirate crew
There was just one thing they’d rather walk the plank than do
Just one thing … when she’d make them sing
Come on and sing for Bess!

[Pirate Chorus]
Bloody Bess, Bloody Bess—seventeenth century piratess
B-b-bloody Bess, Bloody Bess
Bloody Bess, Bloody Bess—seventeenth century piratess
B-b-bloody Bess, Bloody Bess....
