I used to be a farmer, and I made a living fine,
I had a little stretch of land along the city line
But time went by and though I tried, the money wasnt there
And 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? theyd always laugh, we just let twenty go!
The government, the promised me a measly little sum
But Ive got too much pride to end up just another bum.
Then I thought, who gives a damn if all the jobs are gone?
Im gonna be a pirate on the river saskatchewan!!!
(arrr! arrr! arrr! arrr! arrr!!)
Cause its a heave-ho, hi-ho, comin down the plains
Stealin wheat and barley and all the other grains
Its a ho-hey, hi-hey farmers bar yer doors
When ya see the jolly roger on reginas mighty shores
Well, youd think the local farmers would know that Im at large
But just the other day I found an unprotected barge
I snuck up right behind them and they were none the wiser,
I rammed their ship and sank it and I stole their fertilizer!
A bridge outside of moosejaw spans a mighty river
Farmers cross in so much fear their stomachs are a-quiver
Cause they know that tractor jack is hiding in the bay
Ill jump the bridge and knock them cold and sail off with their hay!
Cause its a heave-ho, hi-ho, comin down the plains
Stealin wheat and barley and all the other grains
Its a ho-hey, hi-hey farmers bar yer doors
When ya see the jolly roger on reginas mighty shores
Well, mountie bob he chased me, he was always at my throat
Hed follow on the shoreline cause he didnt own a boat
But cutbacks were a-coming and the mountie lost his job
And now hes sailing with us, and we call him salty bob!
A swingin sword, a skull and bones and pleasant company
I never pay my income tax and screw the gst (screw it!!)
Prince albert down to saskatoon Im the terror of the seas
If you wanna reach the co-op, boy, you gotta get by me!
Cause its a heave-ho, hi-ho, comin down the plains
Stealin wheat and barley and all the other grains
Its a ho-hey, hi-hey farmers bar yer doors
When ya see the jolly roger on reginas mighty shores
Arrrr, metis! get it? matey? (hey, thats riel-ly funny! you know, louis riel? )
Well, pirate lifes appealing but you just dont find it here,
Ive heard that in alberta theres a band of buccaneers
They roam the athabaska and sail to fort mckay
And youre gonna loose your stetson if you have to pass their way!
Well, winter is a-comin and a chill is in the breeze
My pirate days are over once the river starts to freeze
Ill be back in springtime but now I have to go
I hear theres lots of plundering down in new mexico!
Cause its a heave-ho, hi-ho, comin down the plains
Stealin wheat and barley and all the other grains
Its a ho-hey, hi-hey farmers bar yer doors
When ya see the jolly roger on reginas mighty shores
Cause its a heave-ho, hi-ho, comin down the plains
Stealin wheat and barley and all the other grains
Its a ho-hey, hi-hey farmers bar yer doors
When ya see the jolly roger on reginas mighty shores
When ya see the jolly roger on reginas mighty shores...
