Ere Jim, 'ave a seat an' I'll tell you a tale
That'll cause your blood to run cold
It was a dark and stormy night, three weeks out of Ilfracombe
Bound for the isle of Lundy
Just east of Devil's Slide
Late in the middle watch there was a call from the fore topsail yard
"On deck there, a sail, one point on the starboard bow"
Through the mist and fog, a dark shape emerged
A ghostly figure standing at its helm
Course set, intent clear, it bore down upon us
On the wind, a refrain to strike fear into the heart of any man
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
And another bottle of rum
Fifteen men on a dead man's chest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum (God preserve us)
Drink and the devil had done for the rest
Yo ho ho and a-
Send them to the depths

Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum (we're gonna need a bigger cannon)
And another bottle of rum (oh, let's use that one)
Fifteen men on a dead man's chest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum (on my command)
Drink and the devil had done for the rest
