Olde Dice Beard (1:00)
This town is as good as any
It’s got a dock and food and money
Said trip bandanas no but I do have a knife
A cutlass a blade a hook and now I’ve got yr wife
I must have you walk the plank
But I am still the captain of this ship
Some call me Hank
With a parrot on my knee and dice in my beard
Of all the scurvy knaves I be the most feared
(He’s got dice in his beard)
