A cappella multi-voice harmonizing original pirate shanty about a lonely pirate that can not swim.  I live in Hampton, VA, where we have the Blackbeard Pirate Festival every year and these types of songs are very common.  Voice recordings into TEOP1 keyboard with the "Mother" voice setting.

LYRICS:
Lonely pirate by the ocean,
There is sand between his toes.
If he's ever feeling happy,
It's something he never shows.

Lonely pirate by the ocean,
But he didn't learn to swim.
He's been standing on the shoreline,
Waiting for the tide to come in.

I wonder what he's thinking.
Is he looking for a sign?
Does he see himself in me,
The way I see myself in him?

Lonely pirate by the ocean,
And I have so many questions,
But the answers are a sea away
And hidden like a treasure.

I wonder what he's thinking.
Is he looking for a sign?
Does he see himself in me,
The way I see myself in him?

Lonely pirate by the ocean,
The tide is coming in,
And he would rather drown than swim,
And I wonder if I should go with him.

Such a lonely pirate.

Lonely Pirate

One take acoustic cover of a deep cut by Canuck hidden gems Attack in Black.

What can you say about this painfully Canadian band?
Gone too soon? Yup.
Criminally underrated? Totally.
HOT TAKE: Attack in Black were what the Hip would've been if they came along 20 years later and erred on the side of punk.
