dreaded curse - Is spoken of
 By all men of the sea - An ancient tale
 Of pirate's woe - And sailor's tragedy

 map was drawn - By grizzled men
 Forgotten years ago - chest of glory
 And mortal sin - The 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
 Will forever now be told

 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
 Will forever now be told

 Now stormy nights - When moon is full
 Will herald in their call - ghostly crew
 Who loot and kill - 'til all before them fall
 Now listen, lad - Remember this
 When foul winds blow agale - Lest [bad word]  And write your name - In adage to this tale
