Jonas Psalter by Styx, presented with the original cover art.
When Captain Jonas Psalter
Sailed his ship to sea
Anne Bonny kept him company
The skull and crossbones flew
Above the ocean blue
The captain's men where a pirate's crew
The ships they sought to take
Were of the Spanish Main
A gift from Ferdinand of Spain
And though you rob and kill to find your dream
Your crimes are hardly what they seem
Tortuga held the treasure of a thousand kings
So Jonas planned to steal everything
Two hundred men stood guard
Around the fortune's nest
But Psalter's steel slew all the rest
And when the smoke had cleared
And bloody bodies lay
Everyone could hear the minstrel play
Woo woo Jonas Psalter
You've captured every prize
There is to dream of in one life
And so we wonder why
We found you in your bed
With that bullet in your head

WOW- Thanks for posting the lyrics to this rare Styx track. I was right in thinking it was about pirates when I first listened to the "Serpent" disc.

I was born in '73 when this album was released, and I've heard other music from that time period and it seems to me that Styx was a little ahead of it's time. It seems to me that this music was pretty hard edged for it's time.

This "Numer Two" singer for Styx is great...he has an exclamative pitch that is truly underrated, for its effect is perfect for progressive/symphonic rock compositions...
I am happy to live in the present, but 'Jonas Psalter' somehow makes me wish that it could be 1970-1973 again.

I remember buying the album cause of the cover, and it seemed to try to tell a story with a series of stories. It was pretty commonplace and not original in story, but they do finish songs well

I think this is one of the best songs from the Wooden Nickel recordings
