Story behind the song
Capt Jackie was a pirate who suffered from severe piles. He was cast adrift by his own mutinous crew and left for dead with only his pile ring for aid...
Lyrics
O Jackie sailed upon the wild sea He was a Captain a Captain was he He'd but one leg made of iron 'o All plated in silver and inlaid with gold Jackie sailed upon the wild sea He was a Captain a Captain was he He'd but one eye made of pearl so they say Inlaid with a ruby that stared the wrong way O Jackie sailed upon the wild sea He was a Captain a Captain was he He'd but one tooth inside his great head And all he could eat was soft cheeses and bread O Jackie sailed upon the cruel sea He was a Pirate a Pirate was he And all of his crew had the scurvy they say And Jackie had piles that chaffed all day O Jackie sailed upon the cruel sea He was a Pirate a Pirate was he He liked to toot on his chillum below Down in his quarters where the crew couldn't go Jackie sailed upon the rough sea He was a Hippy a Hippy was he The crew they did mutiny and then they did sing Cast him away upon his pile ring
