Fifteen Men On A Dead Man's Chest
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!
Always thought it needed more verses and a final closure,
So I wrote these...
Sixteen men on a dead man's chest,
Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!
Of pirate greed and murder I'm blessed,
Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!
Seventeen men on a dead man's chest,
Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!
As I throw one from the ships crow's nest
Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!
Eighteen men on a dead man's chest,
Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!
Another swab gone who I did detest,
Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!
Nineteen men on a dead man's chest,
Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!
My sharp cutlass runs through his breast,
Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!
Twenty men on a dead man's chest,
Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!
My hidden dagger rids an unwanted guest,
Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!
Twenty one men on a dead man's chest,
Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!
Slitting of throats is what I do best,
Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!
Twenty two men on a dead man's chest,
Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!
Another gone as I near the end of my quest,
Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!
Twenty three men on a dead man's chest,
Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!
The last one slaughtered like all the rest
Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!
The treasure's mine all mine to keep.
And of dead shipmates I lose no sleep.
A very rich captain I've now become!
Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!
