Verses
        C                         Em     G     C
Well I used to be a farmer and I made a living fine

  F               C                   G
I had a little stretch of land along the CP line

    C                                       Em    G     C
But times were tough and though I tried the money wasnt there 

        F                C                G               C
And the bankers came and took my land and told me fair is fair

Bridge
  Am                             Dm
I looked for every kind of job , the answer always no

Am                                   G
Hire you now, theyd always laugh, we just let 20 go

Am                                 Dm
The government, they promised me a measly little sum

Am                                   G
But Ive got too much pride to end up just another bum
 

*This chord progression is only played once in the song*
-----------------------------------------------
F       
Then I thought who gives a damn if all the jobs are gone

D
Im gonna be a pirate

G
on the River Saskatchewan
-----------------------------------------------

Chorus
               C        Am      
And its a hee (Ho)! Hi (Ho!) 

Am    G        C
Comin down the plains

F                 C          G
Stealin wheat and barley and all the other grains

              C         Am
And its a Ho (Hey)! Hi (Hey)! 

Am      G        C
Farmers bar your doors

         F             C        G              C
When you see the jolly roger on Reginas mighty shores


(Verse)
Well, youd think the local farmers would know that Im 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

(Bridge)
Bridge outside of Moose Jaw spans a mighty river
Farmers cross in so much fear, their stomachs are a-quiver
Cause they know that Captain Tractors hiding in the bay
Ill jump the bridge, and knock em cold, and sail off with their hay

(Chorus)
And its a hee (Ho)! Hi (Ho!) 
Comin down the plains
Stealin wheat and barley and all the other grains
And its a Ho (Hey)! Hi (Hey)! 
Farmers bar your doors
When you see the jolly roger on Reginas mighty shores

(Verse)
Well, Mountie Bob he chased me, he was always at my throat
Hed follow on the shoreline cause he didnt own a boat
But the cutbacks were a-comin and the Mountie lost his job
So now hes sailing with me and we call him Salty Bob

(Bridge)
A swingin sword, a skull-and-bones, and pleasant company
I never pay my income tax and screw the GST (Screw it!)
Prince Albert down to Saskatoon, the terror of the sea
If you wanna reach the co-op, boy, you gotta get by me! (Arr!)

(Chorus)
And its a hee (Ho)! Hi (Ho!) 
Comin down the plains
Stealin wheat and barley and all the other grains
And its a Ho (Hey)! Hi (Hey)! 
Farmers bar your doors
When you see the jolly roger on Reginas mighty shores

(Verse)
Well, the pirate lifes appealing but you dont just find it here
I hear in north Alberta theres a band of buccaneers
They roam the Athabasca from Smith to Fort MacKay
And youre gonna lose your Stetson if you have to pass their way

(Bridge)
Well, winter is a-comin and a chill is in the breeze
My pirate days are over once the river starts to freeze
Ill be back in springtime, but now Ive got to go
I hear theres lots of plunderin down in New Mexico

(Chorus)
And its a hee (Ho)! Hi (Ho!) 
Comin down the plains
Stealin wheat and barley and all the other grains
And its a Ho (Hey)! Hi (Hey)! 
Farmers bar your doors
When you see the jolly roger on Reginas mighty shores

When you see the Jolly Roger on Reginas mighty shores! (2x)
