Fifteen men on the Dead Man's chest

Drink and the Devil had done for the rest

The mate was fixed with the bo'sun's pike

And the bo'sun brained with a marlin-spike,

Cookie'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 boozin' den

Yo-Ho-Ho and a bottle of rum!

Fifteen men of the whole ship's list

Dead and bedamned and the rest gone whist

The skipper lay with his nob in gore

Where the scullion's axe his cheek had shore,

And the scullion he'd been stabbed times four

And there they lay, and the soggy skies

Dripped all day long up staring eyes

By murk sunset and by foul sunrise--

Yo-Ho-Ho and a bottle of rum!

Fifteen men of 'em stiff and stark

Ten of the crew bore the murder mark

'Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead,

Or a yawning hole in a battered head,
