yo, ho, ho (and a bottle of rum) - craig toungate lyrics

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 marlin 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 a whole ship’s list
yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
dead and be d-mned and the rest gone whist!
yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
the skipper lay with his n0b in gore where the
scullion’s axe his cheek had sh0r-
and the scullion he was stabbed times four and
there he lay and the soggy skies
dripped all day in up-staring eyes at
murk sunset and at foul sur-prise
yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
fifteen men of ’em 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
’twas a cutl-ss 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 d-mn my eyes
all lookouts clapped on par – a – dise all
souls bound just con – tra – ri – wise
yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
fifteen men of ’em 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
we wrapped ’em all in a mains’l tight with
twice ten turns of a hausers bight
and we heaved ’em over and out of sight with a
yo heave ho and fare you well
and a sullen plunge in a sullen swell
ten fathoms deep on the road to h-ll
yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
