His name was Teach when he came to Carolina
Like a man possessed, he scoured the sea, and the Devil called him "son".

Blackbeard!

Teach, the demon of the Sea,
Run, you sailors, run.
With a beard of flame and a heart of ice,
Blackbeard, the Devil's son!

He shot his first mate in the hold one day,
He said "I don't give a damn!
If I don't kill someone now and then,
You'll forget who I am!"

Blackbeard!

He married a girl of fifteen years named Liza,
From across the town they could hear her scream
As he took her maidenhead.

Blackbeard!

Teach, the demon of the Sea,
Run, you sailors, run.
With a beard of flame and a heart of ice,
Blackbeard, the Devil's son!

Governor Spotswood cried, "I'll rid the world of Blackbeard.
One hundred pounds will buy his head,
And Hell can have his soul!"

From Portsmouth town there sailed a man named Maynard.
He did not come to save their lives,
He came for bounty money.

Blackbeard!

Teach, the demon of the Sea,
Run, you sailors, run.
With a beard of flame and a heart of ice,
Blackbeard, the Devil's son!

Teach met his fate on the shores of Carolina.
A challenge rang across the waves:
"You'll dance with death today!"

Sabers bit and bullets flew
As the ships drew side by side.
Blackbeard screamed like a cannon's roar,
"It's a damn good day to die!"

Blackbeard!

Teach, the demon of the Sea,
Run, you sailors, run.
With a beard of flame and a heart of ice,
Blackbeard, the Devil's son!

An ax, a sword, a bullet's burn,
Blackbeard stood them all.
He spat at his killers through broken teeth,
"You'll never take me alive!"

Teach is gone and the seas are safe today.
But down in Hell the Deveil's laughing
'Cuz Blackbeard's home to stay!

Blackbeard!

Teach, the demon of the Sea,
Run, you sailors, run.
With a beard of flame and a heart of ice,
Blackbeard, the Devil's son!
