Pirates of the Hebrides Songtext
von Peat & Diesel

Yeah, we′re the pirates of the Hebrides
We're running ′round your shores
From the Southern Isles to the Butt of Lewis
We're always out for more
We're looking for your winkles
That you′ve stashed in the bay
We′re the pirates of the Hebrides
That's all that I can say

We′re thieving all the petrol
That you left in your tank
You can tell we're burning two stroke
It gives off a freaking waft
You won′t be leaving anything
Of value lying about
We're the pirates of the Hebrides
You′ll never catch us out


Oh, we're the pirates of the Hebrides
We're running ′round your shores
From the Southern Isles to the Butt of Lewis
We′re always out for more
We're looking for your winkles
That you′ve stashed in the bay
We're the pirates of the Hebrides
That′s all that I can say

Have you ever lost your salmon net
And wondered where it went?
We've got 27 down the hole
We haven′t sold them yet
We've stockered all the fish
That you lost with the net
A back-hander for the boys
On the cruisers deck

We're the pirates of the Hebrides
We′re running ′round your shores
From the Southern Isles to the Butt of Lewis
We're always out for more
We′re looking for your winkles
That you've stashed in the bay
We′re the pirates of the Hebrides
That's all that I can say


We′ll go and haul all your creels
But only when it's dark
We'll flog it all to Ronnie
For a little bit of cash
Don′t be telling anyone
When you go on the lash
We′re the pirates of the Hebrides
And we don't give a dash

Oh, we′re the pirates of the Hebrides
We're running ′round your shores
From the Southern Isles to the Butt of Lewis
We're always out for more
We′re looking for your winkles
That you've stashed in the bay
We're the pirates of the Hebrides
That′s all that I can say

I better not say anymore
I think I′ve said enough
Can't tell you how many times
We′ve nearly hit the rocks
We were even raiding bochans
And eating grannies duff
We're the pirates of the Hebrides
And we don′t give a flame

We're the pirates of the Hebrides
We′re running 'round your shores
From the Southern Isles to the Butt of Lewis
We're always out for more
We′re looking for your winkles
That you′ve stashed in the bay
We're the pirates of the Hebrides
That′s all that I can-

Oh we're the pirates of the Hebrides
We′re running 'round your shores
From the Southern Isles to the Butt of Lewis
We′re always out for more
We're looking for your winkles
That you've stashed in the bay
We′re the pirates of the Hebrides
That′s all that I can say
