 Teach the Rover   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-24)
DESCRIPTION: Teach, an outlaw captain, goes to Carolina after the Act of Grace, but soon turns pirate.
Notes: Edward Teach is the actual name of the pirate usually known as "Blackbeard." This song agrees with Daniel Defoe in describing him as quite successful and bloody, but available records (such as the log of a ship Defoe asserts fought against Teach) seem to indicate that much of Defoe's account is fiction.
It is also true that Teach's short career did not yield many rich prizes, and the records do not indicate that he harmed his victims.
