Old Perry lost an eye in a fight in Barbados<\/p>\n
He lost his leg to a shark that swam too close<\/p>\n
He got a hook for a right hand<\/p>\n
When a mutiny didn’t go as planned<\/p>\n
He had scurvy three different times<\/p>\n
But lived through them all without any limes<\/p>\n
He fell overboard and was deserted near Port Royal<\/p>\n
But to his captain he stayed loyal<\/p>\n
He robbed and pillaged as good as any<\/p>\n
Even though his troubles were many<\/p>\n
He was shot three times in a battle at sea<\/p>\n
With his last breath he whispered “A pirate’s life for me!”<\/p>\n
