Arrogant Worms, The ~ The Last Saskatchewan Pirate


I used to be a farmer, and i made a living fine, I had a little stretch of land along the city line But time went by and though i tried, the money wasn't there And bankers came and took my land and told me "fair is fair" I looked for every kind of job, the answer always no "hire you now?" they'd always laugh, "we just let twenty go!" The government, the promised me a measly little sum But i've got too much pride to end up just another bum. Then i thought, who gives a damn if all the jobs are gone? I'm gonna be a pirate on the river saskatchewan!!! (arrr! arrr! arrr! arrr! arrr!!) Cause it's a heave-ho, hi-ho, comin' down the plains Stealin' wheat and barley and all the other grains It's a ho-hey, hi-hey farmers bar yer doors When ya see the jolly roger on regina's mighty shores Well, you'd think the local farmers would know that i'm at large But just the other day i found an unprotected barge I snuck up right behind them and they were none the wiser, I rammed their ship and sank it and i stole their fertilizer! A bridge outside of moosejaw spans a mighty river Farmers cross in so much fear their stomachs are a-quiver Cause they know that tractor jack is hiding in the bay I'll jump the bridge and knock them cold and sail off with their hay! Cause it's a heave-ho, hi-ho, comin' down the plains Stealin' wheat and barley and all the other grains It's a ho-hey, hi-hey farmers bar yer doors When ya see the jolly roger on regina's mighty shores Well, mountie bob he chased me, he was always at my throat He'd follow on the shoreline cause he didn't own a boat But cutbacks were a-coming and the mountie lost his job And now he's sailing with us, and we call him salty bob! A swingin' sword, a skull and bones and pleasant company I never pay my income tax and screw the gst (screw it!!) Prince albert down to saskatoon i'm the terror of the seas If you wanna reach the co-op, boy, you gotta get by me! Cause it's a heave-ho, hi-ho, comin' down the plains Stealin' wheat and barley and all the other grains It's a ho-hey, hi-hey farmers bar yer doors When ya see the jolly roger on regina's mighty shores Arrrr, metis! get it? matey? (hey, that's riel-ly funny! you know, louis riel?) Well, pirate life's appealing but you just don't find it here, I've heard that in alberta there's a band of buccaneers They roam the athabaska and sail to fort mckay And you're gonna loose your stetson if you have to pass their way! Well, winter is a-comin' and a chill is in the breeze My pirate days are over once the river starts to freeze I'll be back in springtime but now i have to go I hear there's lots of plundering down in new mexico! Cause it's a heave-ho, hi-ho, comin' down the plains Stealin' wheat and barley and all the other grains It's a ho-hey, hi-hey farmers bar yer doors When ya see the jolly roger on regina's mighty shores Cause it's a heave-ho, hi-ho, comin' down the plains Stealin' wheat and barley and all the other grains It's a ho-hey, hi-hey farmers bar yer doors When ya see the jolly roger on regina's mighty shores When ya see the jolly roger on regina's mighty shores... more free lyrics

I used to be a farmer, and i made a living fine,
I had a little stretch of land along the city line
But time went by and though i tried, the money wasn't there
And bankers came and took my land and told me "fair is fair"
I looked for every kind of job, the answer always no
"hire you now?" they'd always laugh, "we just let twenty go!"
The government, the promised me a measly little sum
But i've got too much pride to end up just another bum.
Then i thought, who gives a damn if all the jobs are gone?
I'm gonna be a pirate on the river saskatchewan!!!
(arrr! arrr! arrr! arrr! arrr!!)

Cause it's a heave-ho, hi-ho, comin' down the plains
Stealin' wheat and barley and all the other grains
It's a ho-hey, hi-hey farmers bar yer doors
When ya see the jolly roger on regina's mighty shores

Well, you'd think the local farmers would know that i'm at large
But just the other day i found an unprotected barge
I snuck up right behind them and they were none the wiser,
I rammed their ship and sank it and i stole their fertilizer!
A bridge outside of moosejaw spans a mighty river
Farmers cross in so much fear their stomachs are a-quiver
Cause they know that tractor jack is hiding in the bay
I'll jump the bridge and knock them cold and sail off with their hay!

Cause it's a heave-ho, hi-ho, comin' down the plains
Stealin' wheat and barley and all the other grains
It's a ho-hey, hi-hey farmers bar yer doors
When ya see the jolly roger on regina's mighty shores

Well, mountie bob he chased me, he was always at my throat
He'd follow on the shoreline cause he didn't own a boat
But cutbacks were a-coming and the mountie lost his job
And now he's sailing with us, and we call him salty bob!
A swingin' sword, a skull and bones and pleasant company
I never pay my income tax and screw the gst (screw it!!)
Prince albert down to saskatoon i'm the terror of the seas
If you wanna reach the co-op, boy, you gotta get by me!

Cause it's a heave-ho, hi-ho, comin' down the plains
Stealin' wheat and barley and all the other grains
It's a ho-hey, hi-hey farmers bar yer doors
When ya see the jolly roger on regina's mighty shores
Arrrr, metis! get it? matey? (hey, that's riel-ly funny! you know, louis riel?)

Well, pirate life's appealing but you just don't find it here,
I've heard that in alberta there's a band of buccaneers
They roam the athabaska and sail to fort mckay
And you're gonna loose your stetson if you have to pass their way!
Well, winter is a-comin' and a chill is in the breeze
My pirate days are over once the river starts to freeze
I'll be back in springtime but now i have to go
I hear there's lots of plundering down in new mexico!

Cause it's a heave-ho, hi-ho, comin' down the plains
Stealin' wheat and barley and all the other grains
It's a ho-hey, hi-hey farmers bar yer doors
When ya see the jolly roger on regina's mighty shores

Cause it's a heave-ho, hi-ho, comin' down the plains
Stealin' wheat and barley and all the other grains
It's a ho-hey, hi-hey farmers bar yer doors
When ya see the jolly roger on regina's mighty shores
When ya see the jolly roger on regina's mighty shores...

Globalized Sounds

Today, beautiful European and American music, an Afrobeats recorded in Lagos, can play in headphones in Tokyo; a South Korean idol group can fill an Argentine stadium to capacity. On Spotify, the playback volume of African music has increased by 500% in five years; K-pop has already transcended the Asian border and become a common language for young people all over the world; Latin music has consistently topped the streaming charts for several consecutive years. The world is getting smaller while the scope of music is expanding.

The Power of the Scene

When the lights dim and the first note is played, strangers become synchronized. The tremor when thousands sing together, and the melody that still echoes after the crowd disperses - this is an experience that no screen can convey. We look forward to the return of large-scale concerts to the essence of music, and we also look forward to small livehouses continuing to nourish the most vibrant soil of music.

Crossing Borders

Music transcends languages - even if you don't understand the lyrics, you can still shed tears or dance. It transcends cultures - the drumbeats of Nigeria and the chants of Iceland coexist under the same sky. It transcends generations - a song from half a century ago can still bring tears to the eyes of today's young people.

We Create Together

The future of global music is not determined by algorithms, nor is it monopolized by a few giants. It is shaped by every person who presses the play button. Maintain your curiosity, step out of your comfort zone. Support independent musicians and attend live performances. Seek connections through music - because we believe that a song can change a day, and music can change the world.
