Dark
Lady Bernadette Gillece A
fierce one-eyed man named Baron LaBonne A
meaner pirate had never been known And
he sailed on the Dark Lady A
ship strong and sound with a perilous crew And
high on the mast the skull and bones flew Fleet
and swift was the Dark Lady And
every night the Baron would drink a toast He'd
say, "Here's to my lovely lady host! My
one true love." "Hear,
hear!" the crew replied And
the Dark Lady sighed. A
rich Spanish galleon was spotted one night The
Dark Lady's crew prepared for the fight Clash
of swords.... No Spaniards survived it. Except
for the maiden with dark eyes so bold Found
in the hull with the jewels and the gold LaBonne
laughed and took her for ransom. And
every night the Baron would drink a toast He'd
say, "Here's to our lovely lady host! My
one true love." "Hear,
hear!" the crew replied And
the Dark Lady sighed. The
girl Carlotta was a beauty quite rare With
each passing night LaBonne couldn't bear His
empty bed. He brought her to it. The
Baron soon found he felt more than desire His
love for her grew and his soul filled with fire He
proclaimed that they would marry. That
night the Baron drank with jubilee. He
said "Here's to my lovely bride to be! My
one true love.." "Hear,
hear !" the crew replied, And
the Dark Lady cried. The
following night a storm brewed at sea The
Dark Lady saw her chance to be free Of
her rival, the beauty Carlotta. The
ship steered herself to the heart of the gale Where
a wave swept the maiden out over the rail Sweet
revenge on an unfaithful lover. That
night the Lady drank a toast. She
said, "Here's to your lovely lady host! Your
one true love.." No
voices replied And
the Dark Lady smiled. And
now any night when a storm fills the sky They
say that a ghost ship sails in its eye Fleet
and swift is the Dark Lady A
ship strong and sound with a perilous crew. And
high on the mast the skull and bones flew While
the captain gazes out to sea. And every night the Baron must drink a toast He
says, "Here's to our lovely lady host! My
one true love." "Hear,
hear!" the ghost crew replies And
the Dark Lady smiles. |
