Pirates Of Saskatchewan – Captain Tractor – letras

Well I used to be a farmer, and I made a living fine.I had a little stretch of land along the sea behind.But times went by although I tried, the money wasn’t there,and the bankers came and took my land and told me fair is fair.I looked for every kind of job the answer always no,Hire you now they always laughed we just let 20 goThe government they promised me a measly a little sumBut I’ve got to 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 SaskatchewanCHORUSAnd it’s a heave ho hi ho coming down the plainsStealing wheat’s and barley and all the other grainsAnd it’s a ho hey hi hey farmers by your doorsWhen you see the Jolly Rodger on Regina’s mighty shoresWell you think the local farmers would know that I am largeBut just the other day I found an unprotected bargeI snuck up right behind them and they were none the wiserI ram the ship and sank it and stole the fertilizer.Bridge outside of Moose Jaw spans the mighty riverFarmers cross with so much fear there stomach are a quiver,Cause they know that Captain Tractor’s hiding in the bayI’ll jump the bridge and knock them cold and sail’em with there HayyyyyRepeat CHORUSWell mounty Bob he chased me, he was always at my throat.He followed on the shore lines cause he didn’t own a boat.But the cutbacks were coming and the mounty lost his job,So now he’s sailing with me and we call him Salty Bob.A swinging sword and skull and bones and pleasant company,I never pay my income tax and screw the GST, Screw itSailing down to Saskatoon the terror of the sea,If you want to reach the Co-op boy you gotta get by meHAHARRepeat ChorusWell the pirate life’s appealing but you don’t just find it here,I hear in North Alberta there’s a band of buccaneers,They roam the Athabasca from Smith to Fort McKay,And your gonna lose your sets and if you have to pass away,Well winter is a coming and a chill in the breeze,But pirate days are over once the river starts to freeze,But I’ll be back in spring time and now I have to goI hear there’s lots of plundering down in New Mexico,Repeat ChorusRepeat ChorusRepeat ChorusWhen you see the Jolly Rodger on Regina’s mighty shoresWhen you see the Jolly Rodger on Regina’s mighty shores
