Raise The Black Flag

Lyrics

[Intro] '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 in 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 [Refrain] (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–) [Pre-drop] Send them to the depths [Drop] (Just one more bottle of rum) Raise the black flag (Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha) (Just one more bottle of–) [Refrain] (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) We're gonna need a bigger cannon (Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum) (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) (Yo-ho-ho and a–) [Pre-drop] Send them to the depths Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha Fire! [Drop] (Just one more bottle of rum) Raise the black flag (Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha) (Just one more bottle of–) [Outro] Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha– Oah, where's me rum
