Yo, Ho, Ho! (And a Bottle of Rum) |
Fifteen men on a dead man’s chest |
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum |
Drink and the devil be done for the rest |
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum |
The mate was fixed by the bos’n’s pike |
The bos’n' brained with a markin spike |
And Cookey’s throat was marked belike |
It had been gripped by fingers ten |
And there they lay all good dead men |
Like break o' day in a boozing ken |
Yo Ho Ho and a bottle of rum |
Fifteen men of âem stiff and stark |
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum |
Ten of the crew had the murder mark |
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum |
âTwas a cutlass swipe or and ounce of lead |
Or a yawning hole in a battered head |
and the scuppers glut with a yawning red |
And there they lay aye damn my eyes |
All lookouts clapped on par — a — dise |
All souls bound just con â tra â ri — wise |
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum |
Fifteen men of âem good and true |
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum |
Every man Jack could ha' sailed with old Pew |
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum |
There was chest on chest of Spanish gold |
With a ton of plate in the middle hold |
And the cabins riot with stuff un told |
As they lay there that had took the plum |
With a sightless glare and their lips struck dumb |
While we shared all by the rule of thumb |
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum |
Fifteen men of a dead man’s chest |
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum |
Drink and the devil had done for the rest |
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum |
