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
