A fierce one-eyed man name of Baron La Bone, a meaner pirate had never been known
Gm Dm
And he sailed on the Dark Lady.
Dm
A ship strong and sound with a perilous crew, and high on the mast the skull and bones flew
Gm Dm
Fleet and swift was the Dark Lady.
Bb Am Dm Bb Am Dm
And every night the Baron would drink a toast. He'd say "Here's to our lovely Lady Host
Bb Am Dm Gm Dm
My one true love!" "Here! Here!" the crew replied. And the Dark Lady sighed.
A rich Spanish galleon was spotted one night. The Dark Lady's crew prepared for the fight
Clash of swords - no Spaniard survived it.
Except for the maiden with dark eyes so bold found in the hull with the jewels and the gold
La Bone laughed, and took her for ransom
And every night the Baron would drink a toast. He'd say "Here's to our lovely Lady Host
My one true love!" "Here! Here!" the crew replied. And the Dark Lady sighed.
The girl Carlotta was a beauty quite rare. With each passing night, La Bone couldn't bear
His empty bed - He brought her to it.
The Baron soon found he felt more than desire. His love for her grew & his soul was on fire
He proclaimed that they would marry
That night the Baron drank with jubi - lee. He said "Here's to my lovely bride - to - be!
My one true love!" "Here! Here!" the crew replied. and the Dark Lady cried.
The following night a storm brewed at sea. The Dark Lady saw her chance to be free
Of her rival - the beauty Carlotta
The ship steered herself to the heart of the gale, where a wave swept the maiden out over the rail
Sweet revenge on an unfaithful lover
That night____ the Lady drank a toast. She said "Here's to your lovely Lady Host
Your one true love!" No voices replied, And the Dark Lady smiled.
And now any night when a storm fills the sky, they say that a ghost ship sails in its eye
Fleet and swift is the Dark Lady
A ship strong and sound with a perilous crew and high on the mast the skull and bones flew
While the Captain gazes out to sea
And every night the Baron must drink a toast. He says "Here's to our lovely Lady Host
My one true love!" "Here! Here!" the ghost crew replies. And the Dark Lady smiles.
