I wish I was a pirate ship wreck down in Mexico

Where the oceans turn to silver

Then I'd get on my boat and I'd sail the ocean round

[Interlude]

I wish I was a pirate out there under my own flag

Salt and rum on my tongue, sails tattered and torn

Bb C F

Laughing in the devil's face, ridin' out a storm

[Chorus]

Ooooo, one of these days

Gonna get off these highways

Wake up in some bay

With the sunshine on my face

St. Christopher on a silver chain

Say a prayer, sail away

I wish I was a pirate on some ghost ship in the night

With nothing but the stars, the moon

And faith to be my guide

Then in a cloud of cannon smoke I'd disappear again
