Mary Timony - Pirate Girl lyrics

Hear me this prayer Will you be laughing to her grave With a handful of bones And a hibiscus bouquet? When you saw him the last time Was your head full of bells Were you dancing softly Was your mouth full of spells? Tell 'em that you threw your oars overboard Under the water Tell em you won't work in the galley anymore It's under the water You came from a boat on the river With skulls on its sails Full of pirates with gold ears and gla** eyes You thought they would take you on the water And may make you walk the plank And they'd sell you for a mermaid's daughter Tell 'em that you threw your oars overboard Under the water Tell 'em you won't work in the galley anymore It's under the water When the land is clear And the air is dark She'll put j**els in her boots And wave to the shore She won't be back She won't be back And your silver and your ruby She'll bury in the ground And they'll grow into roots And they'll grow into trees With her own power, with her own hands She will live off the land there
