Last Saskatchewan Pirate Tab

by Arrogant Worms


Verse 1

                     			
Well I used to be a farmer and I made a living fine

     		
I had a little stretch of land along the Cp line

			
But times were tough and though I tried the money wasn’t there 

			
And the bankers came and took my land and told me fair is fair

Bridge
     	
I looked for every kind of job , the answer always no

    	
Hire you now, they’d always laugh, we just let 20 go

	
The government, they promised me a measly little sum

	
But I’ve got too much pride to end up just another bum

	   
Then I thought who gives a damn if all the jobs are gone


I’m gonna be a pirate


on the River Saskatchewan

Chorus

			
And it’s a hee (Ho)! Hi (Ho!) 

		
Comin down the plains

			
Stealin wheat and barley and all the other grains

		
And it’s a Ho (Hey)! Hi (Hey)! 

		
Farmers bar your doors

					
When you see the jolly roger on regina’s mighty shores
