Intro

A dreaded curse - Is spoken of

By all men of the sea - An ancient tale

Of pirate's woe - And sailor's tragedy

A map was drawn - By grizzled men

Forgotten years ago - A chest of glory

And mortal sin - That none should ever know

And they searched and they searched

And they searched and they searched

For forbidden treasure old

And this curse, and this curse,

and this curse, and this curse

Will forever now be told

A pirate captain - Of many years

Had heard these whispers grim - But lust for treasure

And endless wealth - Had all but blinded him

He hired a crew - Of hardy men

To help him in his cause - They never knew

The danger of - This bounty's evil force

And they searched and they searched

And they searched and they searched

For forbidden treasure old

And this curse, and this curse,

and this curse, and this curse

Will forever now be told

Now stormy nights - When moon is full

Will herald in their call - A ghostly crew

Who loot and kill - 'til all before them fall

Now listen, lad - Remember this

When foul winds blow a gale - Lest shadow come

And write your name - In adage to this tale
