Denna låt får mig seriöst att fundera på att gå från bonde till pirat!! Bästa jag har hört på länge! Om CC-pirates (sopor) hade spelat den här hade jag givit upp direkt!!!

The Last Saskatchewan Pirate
I used to be a farmer and I made a livin' fineI had a little stretch of land along the CP line But times went by and though I tried the money wasn't thereAnd bankers came and took my land and told me fair is fairI looked for every kind of job, the answer always no "Hire you now?" they always laughed, "We just let twenty go!"The government they promised me a measly little sum But I've got too much pride to end up just another bumThen I thought who gives a damn if all the jobs are gone I'm going to be a pirate on the River Saskatchewan.... Arrrrrgh!
Cause it's a Heave! Ho! Hay! Ho! Comin' down the plains Stealin' wheat and barley and all the other grains It's a Ho! Hay! Hi! Hay! Farmers bar your doors When you see the Jolly Roger on Regina's mighty shores
Well you'd think the local farmers would know that I'm at large But just the other day I found an unprotected barge I snuck up right behind them and they were none the wiser I rammed the ship and sank it and I stole their fertilizer A bridge outside of Moosejaw spans a mighty river Farmers cross in so much fear their stomachs are aquiver 'Cause they know that Tractor Jack is hiding in the bay I'll jump the bridge and knock them cold and sail off with their hay
Cause it's a Heave! Ho! Hay! Ho! Comin' down the plains Stealin' wheat and barley and all the other grains It's a Ho! Hay! Hi! Hay! Farmers bar your doors When you see the Jolly Roger on Regina's mighty shores
Well Mountie Bob he chased me, he was always at my throat He'd follow on the shoreline but he didn't own a boat But cutbacks were a comin' and the mountie lost his job So now he's sailin' with me and we call him Salty Bob A swingin' sword, a scull 'n' bones and pleasant company I never pay my income tax and screw the G.S.T. (screw it!) Prince Albert down to Saskatoon, the terror of the sea If you want to reach the Co-op, boy, you gotta get by me!
Cause it's a Heave! Ho! Hay! Ho! Comin' down the plains Stealin' wheat and barley and all the other grains It's a Ho! Hay! Hi! Hay! Farmers bar your doors When you see the Jolly Roger on Regina's mighty shores
Well pirate life's appealing but you don't just find it here I've heard that in Alberta there's a band of buccaneers They roam the Athabaska from Smith to Fort McKay You're gonna lose your Stetson if you have to pass their way Well winter is a comin' and a chill is in the breeze My pirate days are over when the river starts to freeze I'll be back in spring time, but now I have to go I heard there's lots of plunderin' down in New Mexico
