Pirates come and go. Most are vicious, marauding theives, yet occasionally one pirate might have a kinder spirit. As a group, they are “deplorable and horrible” as stated in Gary Powell’s new song “Pirates of the Black Tide”. 
Powell’s music publishing company, Jesmax Music, BMI, is proud to have placed this song on Walt Disney Records’ new CD release entitled Disney’s Ultimate Swashbuckler 10-Song CD Collection, a new product inspired by the movie series Pirates of the Caribbean.
Six of the ten pirate song vocals were produced in Gary Powell’s Austin recording studio. Arranger Jerry Cleveland wrote the orchestral arrangements for many of the new songs except “Pirates of the Black Tide”, which was wholly produced and recorded in Austin.
“The Pirates of the Black Tide” are played by Austin session singers Craig Toungate, Larry Seyer, David Wise, David Breeding and PBS TV Stars of “The Biscuit Brothers”, Jerome Schoolar and Allen Robertson.
The string orchestra parts were performed by this wonderful group of players whom I hold in the highest regard: Bruce Williams, Lana Harris, Richard Kilmer, Elise Winters, Jamie Desautels, Elizabeth Blackerby, and Elizabeth Girko.
All songs on the album are listed below. Underlined song titles were recorded exclusively with Austin pirates. Please note that I sell no Disney products on my site. This CD can be purchased exclusively at Walmart stores across the country.

2. “The Legend of Davy Jones: Forty Fathoms Below”

all pirates refused to be photographed)<\/i><\/b><\/center><\/p>\nPirates of the Black Tide<\/h2>\n
\nWe welcome the night as black as our heart
\nCan\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t see, don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want, never had a naval chart
\nThe thief\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s rule of law
\nIs an appropriation bill
\nWe\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re the pirates of the Black Tide
\nSailors if you will<\/p>\n
\nIt\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s no birthday cake if you want our employ
\nAnd to be like us is a mistake you will enjoy
\nWhen pirates rule the seas
\nThe world\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a better place
\nWe\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re the pirates of the Black Tide
\nWe\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re a wonderful disgrace<\/p>\n
\nWe\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re the mythical, pinnacle statement of
\nYour worst-est dream or vocabulary word
\nWe\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re tyrannical, mechanical and people say
\nThat we smell like death, you can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t take that away<\/p>\n
\nYes, we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re your worst fear and we know where you hide
\nWe\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve hidden there before, we don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t care how hard you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve cried
\nWe\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re the bottom of the barrel
\nWhen it comes to raising kids
\nWe\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re pirates from the North Pole
\nWe know just what you did<\/p>\n
\nWe have nightmares too, but we just call them dreams
\nWe\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve taken this yachting thing out to the extreme
\nWe\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re Type-A personalities, our therapy’s a sword
\nWe\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re the pirates of the Black Tide
\nWe will not be ignored<\/p>\n
\nWe\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re the black-hearted, swashbuckled, never take a shower,
\nKind of guys obsessed a bit with fame and power
\nWe\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re deplorable, horrible, scull and cross-bone ridden
\nLiving on the ship where nothing is forbidden<\/p>\n
\nYes, we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re your worst fear and we know where you sleep
\nSo tucky, tuck in I wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t sleep too deep
\nWe\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re the worst father figure
\nFigure out how not to scream
\nWe\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re the pirates of the Black Tide
\nHope you have sweet dreams<\/p>\n
\nWe\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re the Pirates of the Black Tide
\nHope you have sweet dreams<\/p>\n
