The lament of the apprentice pirate.

I'm taking my horse to market,
I've ridden her all day,
From here on i'll take the ship
to bloodsky bay.
My crop has failed,
My animals are slain,
What choice can remain,
to the last of the lame,
But bloodsky bay.
And had it been otherwise,
But the axe I had once put away,
I would have stayed on the farm,
Kept the chickens from harm,
Instead of bloodsky bay.
