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!
The mate was fixed by the bosun's pike
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
The bosun brained with a marlinspike
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
And cookey's throat was marked belike
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
It had been gripped by fingers ten
And there they lay, all good dead men
Like break o'day in a boozing ken.

Fifteen men of the whole ship's list
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
Dead and be damned and the rest gone whist!
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
The skipper lay with his nob in gore
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
Where the scullion's axe his cheek had shore
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
And the scullion he was stabbed times four
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
And there they lay, and the soggy skies
Dripped down in up-staring eyes
In murk sunset and foul sunrise.

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 cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
Or a yawing hole in a battered head
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
And the scuppers' glut with a rotting red
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
And there they lay, aye, damn my eyes
Oh looking up at paradise
All souls bound just contrariwise.

Fifteen men of 'em good and true
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
Ev'ry man jack could ha' sailed with Old Pew
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
There was chest on chest of Spanish gold
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
With a ton of plate in the middle hold
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
And the cabins riot of stuff untold
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
And they lay there that took the plum
With sightless glare and their lips struck dumb
While we shared all by the rule of thumb.

More was seen through a sternlight screen...
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
Chartings undoubt where a woman had been
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
'Twas a flimsy shift on a bunker cot
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
With a dirk slit sheer through the bosom spot
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
And the lace stiff dry in a purplish blot
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
Oh was she wench or some shudderin' maid
That dared the knife and took the blade
By God! she had stuff for a plucky jade.

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 wrapped 'em all in a mains'l tight
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
With twice ten turns of a hawser's bight
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
And we heaved 'em over and out of sight
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
With a Yo-Heave-Ho! and a fare-you-well
And a sudden plunge in the sullen swell
Ten fathoms deep on the road to hell.
