letra de the derelict - the jolly rogers
[verse 1]
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
[verse 2]
the mate was fixed by the bosun’s pike
the bosun brained with a marlinspike
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
[verse 3]
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!
[verse 4]
there was chest on chest full of spanish gold
with a ton of plate in the middle hold
and the cabins riot of loot untold
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
yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
[verse 5]
more was seen through a sternlight screen
yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
charting no doubt where a woman had been
yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
[verse 6]
a flimsy shift on a bunker cot
with a thin dirk slot through the bosom spot
and the lace stiff dry in a purplish blot
oh was she wench some shuddering maid
that dared the knife and took the blade
by god, she was stuff for a plucky jade
yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum
[verse 7]
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
[verse 8]
we wrapped ’em all in a mains’l tight
with twice ten turns of a hawser’s bight
and we heaved ’em over and out of sight
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 h-ll
yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
