The Pegging Shanty by linenandcurls
The Pegging Shanty
[Verse 1]
Am F C
My captain once told me of the women at sea,
Am F Am
Half fish and half maiden, quite the sight to see,
Am F C
They're fair and ferocious and filled him with fright,
Am F Am
And one gave him his sea legs on one moonlit night,
[Verse 2]
Am F C
I wandered the seas looking for one such maid,
Am F Am
For brushing with her is how sailors are made,
Am F C
She looked in my eyes as I plead and I begged,
Am F Am
"Oh, lady of the depths, I just want to get pegged"
[Chorus]
C F E7
I've been railed by a fair mermaid lass,
C Dm Am
Her hand in my hair and her strap in my ass
[Verse 3]
Am F C
My knees were a-knockin' as I did return,
Am F Am
To my captain, who said, "Son, your sea legs were earned"
Am F C
But all I could think of was the fish-woman's gaze,
Am F Am
How each gentle caress filled my mind up with haze,
[Chorus]
C F E7
I've been railed by a fair mermaid lass,
C Dm Am
Her hand in my hair and her strap in my ass
C F E7
To hell with my captain, and God sink my crew,
C Dm Am
For, sea foam-soaked siren, I belong to you
[Verse 4]
Am F C
The day's turned to weeks 'til, on the starboard side,
Am F Am
The mer-maiden sang, and our eyes all blew wide,
Am F C
One after another, we dove in the depths,
Am F Am
And the maiden dragged us to our watery deaths
[Outro]
C F E7
We were railed by a fair mermaid lass,
C Dm Am
But the mermaid got hungry, so we breathed our last
C F E7
She drowned our poor captain and us, his dear crew,
C Dm Am
Now, sea foam-soaked siren, we belong to you
