Song: Dark Lady
Artist: Bedlam Bards
Album: Furious Fancies
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 ever 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 Spaniard 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
My 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 heart filled with fire
He proclaimed
That they would marry
That night the Baron
Drank with jubilee
And 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
And said, Here's to
Your lovely lady host
Your one true love
No voices replied
And the Dark Lady smiled
And now every night
When a storm fills the sky
They say that a ghost ship
Sails in it's 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
And say, Here's to
Our lovely lady host
My one true love
Hear, hear, the ghost crew replies
And the Dark Lady smiles
And I was told that all Bards are dead.... I beg to differ!
This is amazing, a beautiful song that tells a classical sounding tale. Bards are far too rare :(
