| 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 that 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 | 
| Shall 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 | 
| Shall forever now be told | 
| 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 | 
| Shall 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 |
