| | The Last Saskatchewan Pirate Lyrics Artist(Band):The Arrogant Worms
I had a little stretch of land along the CP line, But times went by and though I tried the money wasn't 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" they'd always laugh, "We just let Twenty go!" (Haha) The government, they promised me a measley little sum, But I've got too 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 Saskatchewan! Chorus: And it's a Heave (HO) High (HO) Comin' down the plains, Stealin' Wheat and Bareley and all the other grains, And it's a Ho (HEY!) High (HEY!) Farmers bar yer doors, When you see the Jolly Roger on Regina's mighty shores. Well you think the local farmers would know that I'm 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 the ship and sank it and I stole the Fertilizer A Bridge outside of Moosejaw spans a mighty river, Farmers cross in so much fear their stomach's are a quiver, 'Cause they know that Tractor Jack's a-hiding in the bay, I'll jump the bridge and knock em cold and sail off with their Hay! Chorus Well Mountie Bob he chased me he was always at my throat, He followed on the shorelines 'cause he didn't own a boat, But cut-backs were a comin' and the Mountie lost his job, So now he's sailin' with me and we call him Salty Bob! A Swingin' Sword and Skull and Bones are pleasant company, I never pay my Income Tax and screw the GST (SCREW IT!) Salin' down to Saskatoon the Terror of the Sea, If you wanna reach the Co-op boy you gotta get by me! Chorus Well pirate life's appealing but you don't just find it here, I've heard that in Alberta there's a band of Buckaneers, They rome the althabaska from Smith to North McKay, And you're gonna lose 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, But I'll be back in Spring time but now I have to go, I hear there's lots of plunderin' down in New Mexico. And it's a Heave (HO!) Hi (HO!) Comin' down the plains, Stealin' Wheat and Barley and all the other grains, And it's it's a Ho (HEY!) Hi (HEY!) Farmers bar yer doors, When you see the Jolly Roger on Regina's mighty shores. (Repeat) When you see the Jolly Roger on Regina's mighty shores When you see the Jolly Roger on Regina's mighty shores A-har!

Review about The Last Saskatchewan Pirate An absolute must to be sung around the camp fire or on long trips across the open plains. | Reviewer: Barry | 6/21/2006 Would you believe I'm travelling in Scotland and I've met a Sweedish guy that plays this song on his guitar, has even translated it into Sweedish. This is a great song on so many levels as far as I'm concerned. It has wonderful pirate like music that is as playful as the lyrics. Any one who's been to Saskatchewan will laugh out loud of the thought of Saskatchewan pirates (Saskatchewan's about as far from the ocean as one can posibly get) so already you're laughing as the song starts off talking about life of this poor ex-farmer. Other thing I like about it is the fact that it does capture a bit of that frustration that the average family farmer feel these days, so much so that my dad almost considers it his anthem, but does it while still being light hearted, which I think is a part of the canadian spirit. Any ways, I encourage you to listen to it when you get the chance, it's a song sung about the unsung life of a farmer, and which may not be sung for much longer in Canada...
