Reggae cover of Jimmy Buffett's "A Pirate Looks at Forty." We've been jamming this classic song on the tour bus for the past few years so we thought we'd record a studio cover version for y'all!
Lyrics:
(All)
Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call
I wanted to sail upon your water since I was three feet tall
You've seen it all, you've seen it all
(TJ O'Neill)
Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call
I wanted to sail upon your water since I was three feet tall
You've seen it all, you've seen it all
(KBong)
Watched the men who rode you switch from sails to steam
And in your belly you hold the treasures few have ever seen
Most of them dream, most of them dream
(Stick Figure)
Yes I am a pirate, a few hundred years too late
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothing to plunder
I'm an over-forty victim of fate
Arriving too late, arriving too late
(Johnny Cosmic)
I've done a bit of smuggling, I've run my share of grass
I made enough money to buy Miami, but I pissed it away so fast
It's never meant to last, it's never meant to last
(All)
Well I have been drunk now for over two weeks
I passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks
But I got to stop wishing, I got to go fishing, down to rock bottom again
With just a few friends, with just a few friends
Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call
I wanted to sail upon your water since I was three feet tall
You've seen it all, you've seen it all
And I have been drunk now for over two weeks
I passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks
But I got to stop wishing, I got to go fishing, down to rock bottom again
Just a few friends, just a few friends
Just a few friends, just a few friends
Just a few friends, just a few friends
Just a few friends, just a few friends

I'm 40 and I want to sail the world. I've been taking sailing lessons for the last year. I just need to work a few more years and find a great woman to come along. Wish me luck! Much love!
okthennone Awesome man! You can record your journey and post them on UA-cam as a way of income! Alternative lifestyles is a trending topic that’s getting a lot of attention now a days so you would grow pretty quickly! But most important if you’d be living and having fun while doing something you love, and that enough gets respect! Good luck mate!
You will not have trouble doing so with that smile and your passion to learn skills ... I learned the basics of sailing and enough to sail with assistance standing by at 12 years of age . Those feelings of freedom , of pure zen with the wind and salty air surrounding me will always fill my happiness I carry with me thru this life .
I hope to see that smile and your dreams become a reality when you set sail someday . . I will remember that smile again if I see the sailing video of the man who likes Stick Figure too ⛵️best of vibes to your journey- May you someday feel that accomplishment that takes your breath away - the bliss - the zen !! It’s so worth it to become fluent in the navigation of the sea !!
Noble heart~
go for it bro , goooood luck ! :)
Working on the same man. Bought a small boat last year and prepping it to go to Florida. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. I’m facing opposition and won’t quit.
One of the best songs ever written across all genres of music without a doubt. So many versions and covers and all give me chills..
I really hope Jimmy heard this. That man doesn't get covered enough.
Makes me so happy. I did my High School Senior paper on Reggae. 30+ years later and I never get sick of it. Good vibes.!! One Love!
A song with Stick Figure. Never disappoints. Keep on keeping on Stick Figure. ❤️
U guys are amazing. Some real roots music for this generation. This is what we need. No more garbage music. Conscious music. Give thanks. Jah blesss 🤙🤸♂️
Ramiro Rivera idiot. This song is old. Way before “conscious music”
This is Alabama gulf coast music.
This is jimmy buffets song, give him some cred ;)
"Real roots music" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHA!!!! ......this entire scene has turned to garbage
Buffet and Stick together, my old and new favorites all rolled up in one.. i think I'll roll and burn one to that!
same here. My old boss when I was working in this little surf shop in Palm Beach, FL called The Boys Club was buddies with Jimmy Buffet. He would come into the shop from time to time to buy shorts lol
So?
Cheers.
No no no
3 shots tequula
4 shots of pot. . .
We just became best friends
something about 40 and this song!?! Honestly didn’t hear it until this month, and not even this version and I’ll be 40 in October. Between the last couple bullshit years and feeling in a rut, this kind of music opened me up to a whole new compartment in my brain. GOD BLESS anyone who might read this. I wish I was introduced to these musicians long ago... now I don’t know if I can make it through a day without Stick Figure touching my soul through my ear holes.
Were all awakening in consciousness at our own pace. We all eventually make it. Much love
I’m in the same boat at 71!
This is 🔥!
Makes me feel like i am in the middle of the ocean...drinking some rum.
These two guys should tour together next summer! Jimmy and Stick Figure
I grew up on boats and now as a almost 40 year old land lover getting ready to set sail with my family
I'm digging the combination of TJ and the old Stick Figure crew. Hopefully there is more to come!
Sitting on the beach in Costa Rica rn, this song. A cold beer in my hand. Cant get any better
Yessssssss
Pura vida. My buddy has a place on the beach in palya hermosa. Below jaco. Good spot
I am stoned and misread your comment as "Shitting on the beach in Costa Rica Rn.." Cracked me up lol
Y mejor aún con un puro de buena Marihuana...Pura vida miher
why not a joint in your hand .. happy trails
I'm a pretty normal robust dude, but at the end of listening to this I had tears streaming down my face. Not sure how they do it.
You guys did it again!!! I’m honestly glad I listen to Stick Figure!! I’d probably be in a gang, dead or in jail if I had never heard of this band
So now you're a pirate instead. Cool.
It pulled me away from that rough life that was not a good time living like that
Sick cover . Stick always brings the vibes
I know someone who needs to hear this...for the 1000th time. Awesome!
I was in the Navy, lost some real good friends to the sea. Quit drinking and never went back out on the water. This song makes me want to do both again! Love you guys! Thank you! 🤙
Tomorrow is never guaranteed! Live your life NOW! 💜
Screw the booze man hit the 🥬 sorry about your friends tho. If you feel it calling, maybe it's time to try again?
The original by Jimmy Buffet was something that defined my childhood by visiting the USVI when I was 6. open air jeeps, tiki bars, carnival, coconut tree climbing, and gecko hunting was all I cared about my whole youth after that and this song brings me back to a time when the world made sense to me, I fuckin love this cover!
I'll be 40 in 12 days. Still fuckin up sometimes. Thank you so much for the synchronicity as always
34 days for me.
Age is a sTaTe of miNd Bro.
Pretty much

I snuck into a stick figure show and met them all backstage. Love these guys so much I’d risk getting in trouble. This song makes me feel like a pirate a few hundred years to late :)

Parrot Head 4LIFE!!!

My father was a sailor in WW2 and afterwards he became a captain and was the harbor master in Brunswick Georgia. There was 5 boys. We were shrimpers in the 70's when the Columbia gold was pouring in FLA, Georgia, right up the east coast. I was a shrimper at first then I went broke in key west and got on a tug boat to support my 4 boys. We were as close as humanly possible to being real pirates. We we're well known by all the fishermen. Half of them got rich hauling square groupers. Some went to federal prison at Egland air force base in FLA. But it was awesome back then. We would do things on those shrimp boats that would blow your mind. It became a lifestyle and we were always chasing shrimp all over the gulf ,east coast,ect. They put an end to hauling pot and started hauling coke. I had to get away from that Life. People were dying,or murdered. It was crazy. I got shot twice on two different occasions. One was 12 ga slug. Bout killed me. Had my friends bringing me coke in the hospital. I should write a book because I'm one of the last generations that saw the old days and lived it. I'm living in Fernandina beach Florida now. I'm a native islander. Before the invasion. We had to ride a.boat to go to school because we lived on sapelo Island georgia.and Cumberland island Georgia too. I was born on st. Simon's island. Totally different world then. You had to be tough just to survive. I got hundreds of bad ass stories
Scott is the man.
Chris Hilderbrand Chris where you been man?! We want to link with you bro!
Can’t wait to see this live!
Just ran across this. Being a parrot head for 40+ years, will say, I'm lovin' it!!!

Sitting out back in dark, landlocked arctic Canada. Tis cold and dry. But I listen to this and I hearken back to mi' auld Lahaina.

My dad got me into reggae at like 10 when he got a bob marley cd and since then never looked back. Stick figure I stumbled onto 6 years ago and have been a huge fan since. Keep making great music
