Paroles

Refrain 1
Fifteen men on the 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 !


Couplet 1
Walking on crutches on this shifting deck
However no worries, the man won’t break his neck
Hobbling along , whisteling his song
If something goes wrong he will get along

Master of the knife caring for the crew
Ending up a life or making up some stew
He's the real captain can’t bear any chain
He stands up on the rain they say no pain no gain


Refrain 2
Fifteen men on the 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 !


Couplet 2
Never the first mate from first day on the sea
The odds show his fate won’t allow him to kneel
Ready to climb / at the top / of the mast
The whole ship / having a blast

Losing one leg is a / minimal cost
To introduce The / Brethren of the Coast
All driven / by Robert Louis Stevenson
Gunn, Bones, Hawkins / or Anderson


Refrain 3 & 4
Fifteen men on the 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 the 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 !
