Jolly Rogers More Rum For The Pirates

Текст песни "Jolly Rogers — More Rum For The Pirates"

More rum! More rum!
More rum for the pirates!

Fifteen men on the dead man's chest
Yo ho ho ho and a bottle of rum
Drink and the devil had done for the rest
Yo ho ho ho and a bottle of rum.

Fifteen men of the whole ship's list
Yo ho ho ho and a bottle of rum!
Dead and be damned and the rest gone whist!
Yo ho ho ho and a bottle of rum!

'Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead
Or a yawing hole in a battered head
And the scuppers' glut with a rotting red
And there they lay, aye, damn my eyes
Looking up at paradise
All souls bound just contrawise

Fifteen men of 'em stiff and stark
Yo ho ho ho and a bottle of rum!
Ten of the crew had the murder mark!
Yo ho ho ho and a bottle of rum!

Fifteen men of 'em good and true
Yo ho ho ho and a bottle of rum!
Ev'ry man jack could ha' sailed with Old Pew,
Yo ho ho ho and a bottle of rum!

More was seen through a sternlight screen...
Yo ho ho ho and a bottle of rum
Chartings undoubt where a woman had been
Yo ho ho ho and a bottle of rum.

'Twas a flimsy shift on a bunker cot
With a dirk slit sheer through the bosom spot
And the lace stiff dry in a purplish blot
Oh was she wench or some shudderin' maid
That dared the knife and took the blade
By God! she had stuff for a plucky jade

Fifteen men on a dead man's chest
Yo ho ho ho and a bottle of rum
Drink and the devil had done for the rest
Yo ho ho ho and a bottle of rum.

Fifteen men of 'em stiff and stark
Yo ho ho ho and a bottle of rum!
Ten of the crew had the murder mark!
Yo ho ho ho and a bottle of rum!
