Fifteen men on a dead man’s chest;
Yo-‘ea’(heave-ho), and a bottle o’ rum!
Drink and the devil had done for the rest;
Yo-‘ea’(heave-ho), and a bottle o’ rum!
They drank and they drank and they got so drunk,
Yo-‘ea’(heave-ho), and a bottle o’ rum!
Each from the dead man bit a chunk;
Yo-‘ea’(heave-ho), and a bottle o’ rum!
They sucked his blood and they crunched his bones;
Yo-‘ea’(heave-ho), and a bottle o’ rum!
When suddenly up came Davy Jones;
Yo-‘ea’(heave-ho), and a bottle o’ rum!
And Davy Jones had a big black key;
Yo-‘ea’(heave-ho), and a bottle o’ rum!
The key to his locker beneath the sea;
Yo-‘ea’(heave-ho), and a bottle o’ rum!
He winked and he blinked like an owl in a tree;
Yo-‘ea’(heave-ho), and a bottle o’ rum!
And grinned with a horrible kind o’ glee;
Yo-‘ea’(heave-ho), and a bottle o’ rum!
‘My men,’ says he, ‘you must come wi’ me-’
Yo-‘ea’(heave-ho), and a bottle o’ rum!
‘Must come wi’ me to the depths o’ the sea;
Yo-‘ea’(heave-ho), and a bottle o’ rum!
So he claped them into his locker in the sea,
Yo-‘ea’(heave-ho), and a bottle o’ rum!
he locked them in with his big black key;
Yo-‘ea’(heave-ho), and a bottle o’ rum!
Now, all take warning from this ‘ere song,
Yo-‘ea’(heave-ho), and a bottle o’ rum!
Never drink whisky so divilish strong.
Yo-‘ea’(heave-ho), and a bottle o’ rum!
