lyrics

‘Ere Jim, ‘ave a seat an’ I’ll tell you a tale that’ll cause your blood to run cold.
It was a dark and stormy night, three weeks out of Ilfracombe, bound for the isle of Lundy.
Just east of Devil’s Slide, late in the middle watch there was a call from the fore topsail yard.
‘On deck there, a sail, one point on the starboard bow’.
Through the mist and fog, a dark shape emerged, a ghostly figure standing at its helm.
Course set, intent clear, it bore down upon us.
On the wind, a refrain to strike fear into the heart of any man.

Fifteen men on 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,
and another bottle of rum.
Fifteen men on a dead man’s chest, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
‘God preserve us’
Drink and the devil had done for the rest, yo ho ho and a…

‘Send them to the depths’.
Just one more bottle of rum.
‘Raise the Black Flag’
Just one more bottle of rum.

Fifteen men on 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’re gonna need a bigger cannon’
and another bottle of rum.
‘Ooh, let’s use that one’
Fifteen men on a dead man’s chest, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
‘On my command’
Drink and the devil had done for the rest, yo ho ho and a …

‘Send them to the depths’.
Ha ha ha ha ha fire!
Just one more bottle of rum
‘Raise the Black Flag’
Just one more bottle of rum.

Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha …. (cough, cough, cough)
Ooarh, where’s me rum?
