Written after I read a national geographic about pirates and the importance of taverns and ale houses
Starts on g

I’m gonna sing some words like this come to the tavern
and then more words words words words Come to the tavern
and finally more words I shall sing it right out loud
the taverns where you go old salt, the taverns where you go
1
You’re feeling like you need a friend come to the tavern
A pirate or a sailor bold come to the tavern
A pretty something for your love or just a drink or 3
the taverns where you go old salt, the taverns where you go,
2
you wanna do a shady deal, come to the tavern
or maybe scoff a hearty meal, come to the tavern,
You want to spring a friend from jail. Or pass some old doubloons,
the tavern’s where you go, old salt the tavern’s where you go.
3
If Madeira’s what you crave
come to the tavern
or tankard of some tasty rum,
come to the tavern
you re feeling lonely as a goat or smuggling’s your employ.
the tavern’s where you go, old salt
The taverns where you go.
4
You’re hankering for a game of chance
come to the tavern
illicit things are on your mind
come to the tavern
you need a crew no matter what
They stand up straight they sail
the tavern’s where you go, old salt
The taverns where you go.
5
Raise up your tankard now my friend,
come to the tavern
the tavern where its starts and ends
come to the tavern
The finest place to get things done while you are not at sea.
the tavern’s where you go, old salt
the taverns where you go.
