[00:01.06] Privateering - Mark Knopfler
[00:26.37] Yon's my Privateer
[00:28.93] see how trim she lies
[00:31.04] To every man a lucky hand
[00:33.35] and to every man a prize
[00:35.78] I live to ride the Ocean
[00:37.91] the mighty world around
[00:41.23]
[00:41.87] To take a little plunder
[00:43.74] and to hear the cannon sound
[00:46.67] To lay with pretty women
[00:48.01]
[00:48.59] to drink Madeira wine
[00:54.00]
[00:54.93] to hear the roller's thunder
[00:56.73] on a shore that isn't mine
[00:59.30] Privateering we will go
[01:03.23]
[01:03.91] Privateering Yoh oh ho
[01:07.50]
[01:08.69] Privateering we will go
[01:12.57]
[01:13.33] Yeah oh oh ho
[01:16.64]
[01:28.38] The people on your Man'o war
[01:30.51] are treated worse than scum
[01:33.03] I'm no flogging Captain
[01:34.45] my God I've sailed with some
[01:37.76] Come with me to Barbary
[01:39.45] We'll ply there up and down
[01:42.11]
[01:44.05] Not quite exactly
[01:45.48] in the service of the Crown
[01:48.35] To lay with pretty women
[01:49.92] to drink Madeira wine
[01:55.88]
[01:56.76] to hear the roller's thunder
[01:58.43] on a shore that isn't mine
[02:00.95] Privateering we will go
[02:04.51]
[02:05.58] Privateering Yoh oh ho
[02:09.26]
[02:10.32] Privateering we will go
[02:14.24]
[02:15.02] Yeah oh oh ho
[02:20.75]
[03:02.87] Look here there's my Privateer
[03:05.13] she's small but she can sting
[03:07.52] Licensed to take prizes
[03:09.39] with a letter from the King
[03:11.95] I love the streets and taverns
[03:13.84] of a pretty foreign town
[03:16.73]
[03:17.66] tip my hat to the dark eyed ladies
[03:19.91] as we sally up and down
[03:22.35]
[03:22.86] To lay with pretty women
[03:24.47] to drink Madeira wine
[03:29.83]
[03:31.21] to hear the roller's thunder
[03:33.09] on a shore that isn't mine
[03:35.57] Privateering we will go
[03:39.51]
[03:40.13] Privateering Yoh oh ho
[03:43.94]
[03:45.03] Privateering we will go
[03:48.71]
[03:49.64] Yeah oh oh ho
[03:53.15]
[04:37.46] Britannia needs her Privateers
[04:39.66] each time she goes to war
[04:41.72]
[04:42.24] death to all her enemies
[04:44.10] No prizes matter more
[04:46.30]
[04:46.93] Come with me to Barbary
[04:48.75] We'll ply there up and down
[04:51.12]
[04:53.13] Not quite exactly
[04:54.62] in the service of the Crown
[04:57.49] I lay with pretty women
[04:59.51] to drink Madeira wine
[05:04.51]
[05:05.81] to hear the roller's thunder
[05:07.57] on a shore that isn't mine
[05:10.14] Privateering we will go
[05:13.78]
[05:14.71] Privateering Yoh oh ho
[05:18.23]
[05:19.54] Privateering we will go

[05:24.09] Yeah oh oh ho
