A Live oak grows by the shallow sea	A
Rest under its boughs I pray	B
And hear of the pirate bold was he	A
And the lady he stole away	B
	-
He was a black browed buccaneer	C
And she like a snow drop white	D
From a scuttled ship he bore her clear	E
As it sunk in the haggard night	D
	-
And with bell and book he wedded her	F
And shaped her to his will	G
Yet though her body could not stir	F
Her soul escaped him still	G
	-
Though we be wed and vows be said	H
Though beaten sore I be	A
I'm naught of thine thou'rt naught of mine	I
God loose these bonds from me	A
	-
On through long days and nights of woe	J
The black ship held its way	B
It faced the iceberg topped with snow	J
It scoured the tropic bay	B
	-
Through nights and days of wrath and dread	H
The ship sped darkly on	K
Behind it like a trail of red	H
Its path glared to the sun	L
	-
And fiercer rose the skipper's pride	M
And black his anger grew	N
That he who man and God defied	M
One soul could not subdue	N
	-
Ah many a pain and many a stain	O
We women bear for men	P
Yet blest is she whose soul is free	A
Even in the dragon s den	P
	-
And when he knew nor time nor fate	Q
Could bring him his desire	F
He held dark converse with his hate	Q
To find a vengeance dire	R
	-
And many an oath to hell he cast	S
While in the devil's name	T
He bound his lady to the mast	S
And set the ship aflame	T
	-
Long hast thou hated me he cried	M
Now laugh aloud in glee	A
Though thou shouldst call me o'er the tide	M
I come not back to thee	A
	-
The sea is deep and I shall sleep	U
Softly beneath the wave	V
Faith thou canst kill now do thy will	G
And bless me with a grave	V
	-
Swiftly the royal sun dropped down	W
Deep in his purple bed	H
And swiftly at the skipper's frown	W
His oarsmen shoreward sped	H
	-
The sudden night fell soft and dark	X
On lonely sea and shore	Y
Before back at the fated bark	X
Its captain gazed once more	Y
	-
I know not if the thing he hailed	Z
From hell or heaven came	T
A livid ship that sailless sailed	Z
Lit up by song and flame	T
	-
Far out to sea I flee I flee	A
Oh heaven is far away	B
My days are done under the sun	L
Why must I longer stay	B
	-
Row fast row fast yet shall he hear	C
Naught but that wailing now	A2
Yet shall he see through nights of fear	E
That figure at the prow	A2
	-
Long years under this live oak tree	A
Naught else he saw and heard	B2
At last once more he put to sea	A
By a strange passion stirred	B2
	-
The loud storm roared and flashed that night	D
And never night nor day	B
Saw the old pirate's shallop white	D
Drift back across the bay	B
	-
Now we who wait one night a year	E
Under these branches long	C2
May see a flaming ship and hear	C
The echo of a song	C2
