Reigh Kilbride - A Pirate's Treasure Lyrics

If sticks and stones were treasure I'd glitter like gold
A fortune I'd have for every no good name they called
We don't know each other we don't talk no more
I remember everything they've closed all their doors

My ship I started building a long long time ago
I built it up with sticks and cannons made with stone
The supports come tumbling down my ship is off the ground
With the treasure I've collected every stick and stone

Names fall from their mouths in one ear and out
I wouldn't give a penny for that reputation now
When the storm was approaching my ship was on the ocean
No lighthouse in the distance no lifeboat to be found

I fired back my cannon's when they turned their guns on me
The battle wasn't over on the open sea
I stated in my captains log with my guitar and me
If sticks and stones were treasure a pirate I would be

With strength and a mission my sails I uplifted
Another storms approaching but land was dead ahead
The fortune that I carried I know I had to hurry
All my pirates treasure I would bury there
