STYX lyrics : "Jonas Psalter"

(Dennis DeYoung)
When Captain Jonas Psalter
Sailed his ship to sea

Anne Bonny kept him company

The skull and crossbones flew

Above the ocean blue
The captain's men where a pirate's crew


The ships they sought to take
Were of the Spanish Main
A gift from Ferdinand of Spain


And though you rob and kill to find your dream
Your crimes are hardly what they seem


Tortuga held the treasure of a thousand kings
So Jonas planned to steal everything


Two hundred men stood guard
Around the fortune's nest

But Psalter's steel slew all the rest

And when the smoke had cleared

And bloody bodies lay
Everyone could hear the minstrel play


Woo woo Jonas Psalter
You've captured every prize
There is to dream of in one life


And so we wonder why
We found you in your bed

With that bullet in your head
