Song lyrics
Well I used to be a farmer, and I made a living fine, 
I had a little stretch of land along the CP line 
But times went by and though I tried, the money wasn't there 
And bankers came and took my land and told me "fair is fair" 

I looked for every kind of job, the answer always no 
"Hire you now?" they'd always laugh, "we just let twenty go!" (Ha-haa!)
The government, they promised me a measly little sum 
But I've got too much pride to end up just another bum. 

Then I thought, who gives a damn if all the jobs are gone? 
I'm gonna be a PIRATE on the river Saskatchewan!!!

Cause it's a heave-ho, hi-ho, comin' down the plains 
Stealin' wheat and barley and all the other grains 
And It's a ho-hey, hi-hey farmers bar yer doors 
When ya 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 their 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 a'quiver 
Cause they know that Captain Tractor's hiding in the bay 
I'll jump the bridge and knock them cold and sail off with their hay! 

And it's a heave-ho, hi-ho, comin' down the plains 
Stealin' wheat and barley and all the other grains 
And it's a ho-hey, hi-hey farmers bar yer doors 
When ya see the Jolly Roger on Regina's mighty shores 

Well, Mountie Bob he chased me, he was always at my throat 
He followed on the shoreline cause he didn't own a boat 
But the cutbacks were a'coming and the Mountie lost his job 
And now he's sailing with us, and we call him Salty Bob! 

A swingin' sword, a skull and bones and pleasant company 
I never pay my income tax and screw the GST (SCREW IT!!) 
Sailing down to Saskatoon, the terror of the seas 
If you wanna reach the co-op, boy, you gotta get by me! 

(HA-HARR!!)
It's a heave-ho, hi-ho, comin' down the plains 
Stealin' wheat and barley and all the other grains 
And It's a ho-hey, hi-hey farmers bar yer doors 
When ya see the Jolly Roger on Regina's mighty shores 

(*spoken* Arrrr! Ya salty dog!) 
(*spoken* Arrrr! Ya salty gopher!) 
(*spoken* Arr.. ya.. salty bale of hay!) 
Well, the Pirate life's appealing but you just don't find it here, 
I hear in north Alberta there's a band of buccaneers 
They roam the Athabaska from Smith to Fort McKay 
And you're gonna loose 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 once the river starts to freeze 
But I'll be back in springtime but now I have to go 
I hear there's lots of plundering down in New Mexico! 

And it's a heave-ho, hi-ho, comin' down the plains 
Stealin' wheat and barley and all the other grains 
And it's a ho-hey, hi-hey farmers bar yer doors 
When ya see the Jolly Roger on Regina's mighty shores 

And it's a heave-ho, hi-ho, comin' down the plains 
Stealin' wheat and barley and all the other grains 
And it's a ho-hey, hi-hey farmers bar yer doors 
When ya see the Jolly Roger on Regina's mighty shores

And it's a heave-ho, hi-ho, comin' down the plains 
Stealin' wheat and barley and all the other grains 
And it's a ho-hey, hi-hey farmers bar yer doors 
When ya see the Jolly Roger on Regina's mighty shores 
When ya see the Jolly Roger on Regina's mighty shores
When ya see the Jolly Roger on Regina's mighty shores...
(Ha-ha-harr, eh?)
