about

A staple at Renaissance Faires, this re-imagined classic tells the tragic tale of a scorned lover. . .

lyrics

A fierce one-eyed man named Baron LaBonne
A meaner pirate had never been known
And he sailed on the Dark Lady
A ship strong and sound with a perilous crew
And high on the mast the skull and bones flew
Fleet and swift was the Dark Lady
And every night the Baron would drink a toast
He'd say, "Here's to my lovely lady host!
My one true love."
"Hear, hear!" the crew replied
And the Dark Lady sighed.
A rich Spanish galleon was spotted one night
The Dark Lady's crew prepared for the fight
Clash of swords.... No Spaniards survived it.
Except for the maiden with dark eyes so bold
Found in the hull with the jewels and the gold
LaBonne laughed and took her for ransom.
And every night the Baron would drink a toast
He'd say, "Here's to our lovely lady host!
My one true love."
"Hear, hear!" the crew replied
And the Dark Lady sighed.
The girl Carlotta was a beauty quite rare
With each passing night LaBonne couldn't bear
His empty bed. He brought her to it.
The Baron soon found he felt more than desire
His love for her grew and his soul filled with fire
He proclaimed that they would marry.
That night the Baron drank with jubilee.
He said "Here's to my lovely bride to be!
My one true love.."
"Hear, hear !" the crew replied,
And the Dark Lady cried.
The following night a storm brewed at sea
The Dark Lady saw her chance to be free
Of her rival, the beauty Carlotta.
The ship steered herself to the heart of the gale
Where a wave swept the maiden out over the rail
Sweet revenge on an unfaithful lover.

That night the Lady drank a toast.
She said, "Here's to your lovely lady host!
Your one true love.."
No voices replied
And the Dark Lady smiled.
