I cannot offer much, but promise these things:
    A-way-hay, sail a-way-hay
You might bow to storms but not to any kings
    A-way-hay, sail a-way-hay

Sail, sail away
To where azure waters sway
And the stars in the sky
Do diamonds decry
A new wonder lies behind each bay

If you set sail with me then you won't replace
    A-way-hay, sail a-way-hay
One enslaving master with a diff'rent face
    A-way-hay, sail a-way-hay

Sail, sail away
To where azure waters sway
And the stars in the sky
Do diamonds decry
A new wonder behind each bay

Whoever you are and whatever you do
    A-way-hay, sail a-way-hay
I just need to know that I can count on you
    A-way-hay, sail a-way-hay

Sail, sail away
To where azure waters sway
And the stars in the sky
Do diamonds decry
A new wonder behind each bay

We might not be rich, but we'll be truly free
    A-way-hay, sail a-way-hay
As unbound as the skies, the winds and the sea
    A-way-hay, sail a-way-hay

Sail, sail away
To where azure waters sway
And the stars in the sky
Do diamonds decry
A new wonder behind each bay

The home we will have is the ship and the crew
    A-way-hay, sail a-way-hay
Come fire or water, together we'll pull through
    A-way-hay, sail a-way-hay

Sail, sail away
To where azure waters sway
And the stars in the sky
Do diamonds decry
A new wonder behind each bay

Take this chance or leave it, the choice's up to you
    A-way-hay, sail a-way-hay
Let me just assure you all my words were true
    A-way-hay, sail a-way-hay

Sail, sail away
To where azure waters sway
And the stars in the sky
Do diamonds decry
A new wonder behind each bay
:faint:
I forgot how to poetry.
I have no clue how to write sea shanties either.

Either way, this is the pledge for (Cpt.) Maggie.
Whatever rule applies to the crew, it applies to her as well.
Whoever wants to join, she will not judge who- or what they are. as long as they are loyal to the crew and their rules, everything is fine.
And most important: why being a pirate captain: because this is the closest to unlimited freedom she can get.
