  • 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
    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 and a bottle of rum

    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 and a bottle of rum Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
