Anne Is a Man At Sea

Heave oh
Heave oh
Up her anchor goes
Heave oh
Heave oh
Up she goes

Heave oh
Heave oh
Up her anchor goes
Heave oh
Heave oh
Up she goes

Dressed in a pair of Calico pants
And a cutlass by my side
Off I sailed with Jack and his men

To live that pirate life
But a woman on a ship is a cursed thing
So a man I had to be
I couldn't care less to be free of corsets
As a man, I felt like me

She can hoist the ropes
And down the rum
Plough the briny sea
But a woman on a ship is scandalous
So Anne is a man at sea

Hoist the ropes
And down the rum
Here a man be free
But a woman on a ship is scandalous
So Anne is a man at sea

Dressed in a pair of Calico pants
And me red hair tied back low
They called me Tom the pirate lad
And welcomed me aboard

But every night in his cabin
Jack and I would meet
'Cause I still liked bein' a woman
His lover Anne Bonny

She can hoist the ropes
And down the rum
Plough the briny sea
But a woman on a ship is scandalous
So Anne is a man at sea

Hoist the ropes
And down the rum
Here a man be free
But a woman on a ship is scandalous
So Anne is a man at sea

Dressed in a pair of Calico pants
Did they doubt or did they know?
Did they catch Tom the pirate lad's
Belly start to grow?
