Lasses Live Longer (a capella)

[Verse 1]
I sail the world with cannon's roar,
Yet yer word cuts deeper than a sword.
Ye send me maps with "X" marks bold,
Demandin' treasures of jewels and gold.
But lass, my heart be tied to thee,
Though storms do rage on the endless sea.
Ye rage like sirens, fierce and wild,
Still, I love ye, my tempest child.
[Chorus]
Oh, ho! No wonder lasses live longer than us sailors,
It's our due to tame the storms, no room to failures!
Oh, ho! The waves may crash, the winds may blow,
But I’ll not let me anchor go!
[Verse 2]
They say a pirate’s got a girl in every port,
But lass, that claim I will retort.
For ye’re the harbor I call me own,
The only place this heart has known.
Through storms and tides, yer light shines true,
No other lass compares to you.
Ye’re me anchor, steadfast and strong,
Me home in a world that’s wild and wrong.
[Chorus]
Oh, ho! No wonder lasses live longer than us sailors,
It's our due to tame the storms, no room to failures!
Oh, ho! The waves may crash, the winds may blow,
But I’ll not let me anchor go!
[Verse 3]
Ye say, “Bring pearls from the ocean's deep,
And diamonds plundered from ships ye reap!”
But I’ve no time fer baubles bright,
With krakens risin’ in the night.
Yet even when yer temper swells,
And ye me siren, for ye me fell,
I’d fight Blackbeard to keep ye near,
For ye’re me joy and me greatest fear.
[Chorus]
Oh, ho! No wonder lasses live longer than us sailors,
It's our due to tame the storms, no room to failures!
Oh, ho! The waves may crash, the winds may blow,
But I’ll not let me anchor go!
[Bridge]
Yer like the Tamatoa crab, greedy for shine,
Yet I’d dive to the depths to grab me dame a dime.
Yer moods be rough as a tempest’s gale,
Yet I'd weather it all with a pint of ale.
Through sunken ships and sirens’ song,
It’s you I’ll chase me whole life long.
[Chorus]
Oh, ho! No wonder lasses live longer than us sailors,
It's our due to tame the storms, no room to failures!
Oh, ho! The waves may crash, the winds may blow,
But I’ll not let me anchor go!
[Outro]
So here’s to you, me wild sea queen,
The sharpest wit I’ve ever seen.
Through cannon fire and stormy spray,
I’ll love ye ‘til me dyin’ day!
