When Blackbeard comes to town
We hide our wives and daughters
We break out rum and ale
And drink it down like water
When Blackbeard comes to town
He demands the best, so
Don’t be disinclined to
Acquiesce to his request
When Blackbeard comes to town
Go tell your friends and neighbors
His pirates roam around, but
They’re on their best behavior
When Blackbeard comes to town
The tavern throws a party
So lift those goblets high and
Drink some rum and ale, me hearties
