A dreaded curse - is spoken of
By all men of the sea - an ancient tale
Of pirate's woe - and sailor's tragedy


A map was drawn - by grizzled men
Forgotten years ago - a chest of glory

And mortal sin - the none should ever know

And they searched and they searched

And they searched and they searched
For forbidden treasure old
And this curse, and this curse,

And this curse, and this curse
Will forever now be told


A pirate captain - of many years
Had heard these whispers grim - but lust for treasure
And endless wealth - had all but blinded him


He hired a crew - of hardy men
To help him in his cause - they never knew

The danger of - this bounty's evil force

And they searched and they searched

And they searched and they searched
For forbidden treasure old
And this curse, and this curse,

And this curse, and this curse
Will forever now be told


Now stormy nights - when moon is full
Will herald in their call - a ghostly crew
Who loot and kill - 'til all before them fall

Now listen, lad - remember this
When foul winds blow agale - lest shadow come
And write your name - in adage to this tale
