Lady Pirate – the most notorious female pirate in history.
The song „Lady Pirate“ written by Lady volcano pays tribute to the legendary Anne Bonny, the most famous female pirate of the 18th century. Anne Bonny lived in a time when women had very little say, but she defied social norms and went her own way, making her mark in history as a strong and independent woman.
The song begins by retelling Anne Bonny’s story, how she became the wife of robber James Bonny at the wildest of all pirate caves and then hired on a ship disguised as a man under the flag of Captain Jack Rackham, who was known for his lavish lifestyle. They looted together for a while until pirate hunters boarded their ship, and the crew was too drunk from partying all night to fight back. Everyone except Anne was found guilty and sentenced to death by hanging for the crime of piracy.
The song then leads us to the legendary words of Anne Bonny herself, as she says to Calico Jack, „Jack, I’m sorry to see you here. If you’d fought like a man, Calico Jack, you wouldn’t need to hang like a dog.“
But Anne Bonny’s story doesn’t end with her sentencing. She showed her resilience and defiance by revealing her pregnancy, which spared her from execution. This was a bold move in a time when women had few rights and were often seen as inferior to men.
The song concludes by acknowledging that piracy is wrong, but also recognizing Anne Bonny’s fight for equality and independence. She lived a free life in her own way, escaping from traditional restrictions and fighting for her rights every night and day. She was the most notorious female pirate in history, and her story is an inspiration to those who believe in defying the odds and breaking free from societal norms.
This song is for all the Skull and cross bones fans out there, who appreciate the wildest of all adventures. Listen to the legendary words of Lady Pirate and be inspired by the spirit of Anne Bonny, who fought between men and women for equality.
