Diane got
A vision in her mind
She'd catch all the fish
In the isles for him
Then he would love her so
Diane had
But a penny to her name
To her that was all the same
You see
Diane was a thief
She set out
To steal from the royal merchant fleet
Then sail out as far
As the eye could see
To bring her love his feast
Diane said
I'm the pirate queen of fishermen
Old King George
He didn't take to her overtures
He sent out a bounty
To every port
To bring his boat back home
Diane sped
Out of the clutches of policemen
Then headed north
To less-trafficked lands
To find herself her own hole
Diane said
I'm the pirate queen of fishermen
And I won't
Come back
Won't
Come back
'Til I'm done
Late one night
With Diane alone on the open seas
A storm cloud approached her
From due southeast
And sunk her ship with ease
Legend goes
Diane clung on to a wooden board
And paddled her way
To some distant shore
And lived her life well fed there
Diane said
I'm the pirate queen of fishermen
And I won't
Come back
Won't
Come back
'Til I'm dead
