Dm 
A fierce one-eyed man name of Baron La Bone, a meaner pirate had never been known 
       Gm                 Dm 
And he sailed on the Dark Lady. 
   Dm 
A ship strong and sound with a perilous crew, and high on the mast the skull and bones flew 
          Gm                 Dm 
Fleet and swift was the Dark Lady. 
    Bb                          Am      Dm              Bb                        Am    Dm 
And every night the Baron would drink a toast.     He'd say "Here's to our lovely Lady  Host 
   Bb                       Am               Dm        Gm                        Dm 
My one true love!"  "Here!  Here!"  the crew replied.          And the Dark Lady sighed.

A rich Spanish galleon was spotted one night.  The Dark Lady's crew prepared for the fight 
Clash of swords - no Spaniard survived it. 
Except for the maiden with dark eyes so bold found in the hull with the jewels and the gold 
La Bone laughed, and took her for ransom 
And every night the Baron would drink a toast.     He'd say "Here's to our lovely Lady  Host 
My one true love!"  "Here!  Here!"  the crew replied.          And the Dark Lady sighed.

The girl Carlotta was a beauty quite rare.   With each passing night, La Bone couldn't bear 
His empty bed - He brought her to it. 
The Baron soon found he felt more than desire.  His love for her grew & his soul was on fire 
He proclaimed that they would marry 
That night the Baron drank with  jubi  -  lee.     He said "Here's to my lovely  bride - to - be! 
My one true love!"  "Here!  Here!"  the crew replied.           and the Dark Lady cried.

The following night a storm brewed at sea.  The Dark Lady saw her chance to be free 
Of her rival  -  the beauty Carlotta 
The ship steered herself to the heart of the gale,  where a wave swept the maiden out over the rail 
Sweet revenge on an unfaithful lover 
That night____   the Lady drank a toast.        She said "Here's to your lovely  Lady   Host 
Your one true love!"           No voices replied,            And the Dark Lady smiled.

And now any night when a storm fills the sky, they say that a ghost ship sails in its eye 
Fleet and swift is the Dark Lady 
A ship strong and sound with a perilous crew and high on the mast the skull and bones flew 
While the Captain gazes out to sea 
And every night the Baron must drink a toast. He says "Here's to our lovely Lady   Host 
My one true love!"  "Here!  Here!"  the ghost crew replies.        And the Dark Lady smiles.
