lyrics

Samuel Mason, that is my name
I left Fort Henry seeking fortune and fame
I came from Virginia a long time ago
But now I am a pirate along the Ohio

Murder and robbery, those are my crimes
I'll lure you in with women and wine
Hurricane Island seals your fate
For from this shore there is no escape

Be wary oh you travelers along the Ohio
For I'm the cruelest villain this river has known
The lawmen can't catch me though ever they try
Mark my words, they won't take me alive

Samuel Mason, that is my name
Running from the law is a dangerous game
Down the Mississippi, that's where I'll go
But once I was a pirate along the Ohio
