[Chorus] Bosun Bill was known throughout the port A truly dreadful pirate who was always getting caught Not one scheme for stealing could he hatch 'cause someone would spot The treasure he'd got And Bill they'd snatch! [Verse 1] One day Bill awoke lying on a distant beach The last of his grog was just out of reach He groped around with trembling hands And struck something in the sand! [Verse 2] He'd stumbled upon a part Of an ancient chart Stained and torn, the old map told The way to find a stash of buried gold so [Chorus] Bosun Bill set out to find a crew But everyone he asked replied, "I'll never sail with you!" 'Til at last, he plied a man with ale To lend him his craft, a rickety raft Then Bill set sail! [Verse 3] All by himself, Bill trembled in the dark He lost both his boots and hat to a shark He followed the chart 'til, at last, he saw The gleam of a far-off shore [Verse 4] The trail led into a cave Silent as the grave Bill stood gaping at what he saw A hoard of treasure piled from roof to floor [Bridge] Bosun Bill stuffed treasure into his sack He loaded up the boat, but he heard a mighty crack He'd taken to much plunder when he should have kept it light The raft and all the gold sank out of sight [Chorus] Bosun Bill let out a terrible curse He'd had a chance at glory but he'd only come out worse! To this day, he's trapped on the island still Not very clever Worst pirate ever It's Booosunnn billl
I prefer the other version where the first verse starts with "PIPE PIPE PIPE ET JAMBE DE BOIIIIS, PIPE ET JAMBE DE BOIIIIS ET PIPE ET JAMBE DE BOIIIIS" and it's followed by the chorus full of positive emotions and it goes like "PIPE PIPE PIPE ET JAMBE DE BOIIIIS, PIPE ET JAMBE DE BOIIIIS ET PIPE ET JAMBE DE BOIIIIS". After this moment of happiness, the second verse is coming with a terrible history and the words starts to be really deep and goes like "PIPE PIPE PIPE ET JAMBE DE BOIIIIS, PIPE ET JAMBE DE BOIIIIS ET PIPE ET JAMBE DE BOIIIIS"
try 1.25 and then midway turn it to 1.5 speed if you feel especially fancy. Feels like a folk song from a European country. Where they play it and it keeps getting faster.
NMR2112 same is trash at this because all me and my friend do is sink the ship and scuttle it or crash but when it is we just spam this song every time it’s fun as hell and cracks us up 😂🤣
What angers me is that this is a fantastic game. The problem is is that my friends are all brain washed by fortnite. Others just call it trash. But oh well. Their loss. :)
What gets me is the sheer amount of people who want to be able to play the pirates of the Caribbean theme and no mention of the tune what would you do with a drunken sailor (I am aware we shall sail together is the same tune but it starts a few verses in so you can't even sing the beginning of it)
One of the greatest games. I miss the old times, this is the only thing that can remind me of me great voyages with the crew. So sad that almost no one plays this game anymore, even tho it's legendary.
My version of this song (By chewiecat) Leave the port And sail forevermore, the open Water’s where we’ll be until treasure shores Golden lands, a message in the sand A bottle we may drink until we can’t stand *INTENSE HICCUP* We are pirates, sail the seven seas. Land ho we cry if the loot starts to gleam. The gold we plunder fight and blunderbuss our way back home! Nothing can tear us down Our cannons will help you drown You’ll meet a guy as we wave by His name is Davy Jones don’t act surprised. Sail on fast, and never turn your backs. Our crew is nothing short of bold and we will attack. Grogg and rum, you have nowhere to run Surrender or you’ll face the consequence of guns! We are pirates sail the seven seas. We plunder, we pillage, we do as we please. Our teeth are golden we are holdin you hostage to steal your things! Nothing can tear us down. Our cannons will help you drown. You’ll meet a guy as we wave by. His name is Davy Jones don’t act surprised! Meet Davy Jones, he is your end. The king of his throne, When death did you part. I bet you did not know that he is the king of the undersea and now you get to spend your death with the fishies! Pirates see the opportunities Get the gold before you die it’s either you or me. Win the chest, then riches for the best And now we get to sail into theeeee SUNNNSETTTT RIP
The beginning for mine is, yo ho ho a pirate life for me we set of an adventure across the open sea. Yo ho ho the crew is all with thee the ocean calls out to no one not even me
I was sailing across the map, and I decided to pull out a hurdy gurdy an play some music. This was my favorite, and I have every intention to sink the crew that stole my hateful bounty skull. Sending the galleon to Davy Jones' locker will be the highlight of my gameplay.
So i was recently able to get Sea Of Thieves, and for one its one of if not the best game ive ever played with my friends for the quests and all of the dumb stuff you can do in the game, but for the comedy and voyages, and i found this song as the first chanty that played and thank god i did. God bless this amazing game!
Sea of theives we sailing as at team we heading up north as far as the eye can see we're care free we have no need to flee i hit a skeleton with my banshee
Hey, you know how there is some sort of wish for the creators adding an actual bosun bill boss? Well, we also all probably know the (unofficial) lyrics to the shanty, but what if for bosun bill’s fight, he gets a theme based off of the shanty, along with lyrics for the theme too? Because, I’ve been coming up with a bit of lyrics sung by bill, which go: Bosun bill was known throughout the port, A truly dreadfully pirate who was always getting caught. Then one day, Fate took his hand, To a golden island surrounded by sand. Bill shouted with glee: “yippee!” But Fate told him he could never leave. So bill stayed there, slowly starving to death, And eventually took his last breath. Fate got worried of their plunder getting stole, So they gave bill a blade from the shore, This special blade, made of diamonds, opals, and gold Was deeply cursed for anyone untold. A cursed blade, that turned his skin black, And a skeletal body was left of bill’s rack. So bill roams today, as an undead, fighting any who come for his gold and lead. And if you meet bill, you must better flee, Or you will be met by ME. BOOOOO-SUNNN-BIIILLL!!!!
