Pirate song
H. Gilbert
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.
Drink and the devil had done for the rest,
Yo! ho! ho and a bottle of rum.
Hate lies close to love of gold.
Dead men's secrets are tardily told.
Yo! ho! ho and a bottle of rum.
Dead men only the secret shall keep
Yo! ho! ho and a bottle of rum.
So bare the knife and plunge it deep.
Yo! ho! ho! Yo! ho! Yo! ho! ho!
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,
Fifteen men on a dead man's chest,
Drink and the devil had done for the rest,
Yo! ho! ho! Yo! ho! Yo! ho! ho!
