General Interest

Often mis-attributed to Captain Tractor, who covered it in 1995, it’s about a Saskatchewan farmer who hits hard times and decides to become a prairies pirate.

The song is often played during the fourth quarter intermission during home games for the CFL Saskatchewan Roughriders.

The British folk group The Longest Johns adapted it for a version called The Last Bristolian Pirate, which you can see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJyEwA981R0
