Текст песни Народные и застольные песни — Fifteen Men (Bottle of Rum/Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum) — Original с аккордами:
Вступление Am Fifteen men on a dead man's chest Am Dm E Am Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum. Am Drink and the devil had done for the rest Am Dm E Am Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum. Am The mate was fixed by the bosun's pike Am G F E The bosun brained with a marlinspike Am And cooкey's throat was marked belike Am G It had been gripped by fingers ten; F E And there they lay, all good dead men Am Like break o'day in a boozing ken Am Dm E Am Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum. Am Fifteen men of the whole ship's list Am Dm E Am Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum! Am Dead and be damned and the rest gone whist! Am Dm E Am Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum! Am The skipper lay with his nob in gore Am G F E Where the scullion's axe his cheek had shore Am And the scullion he was stabbed times four Am G And there they lay, and the soggy skies F E Dripped down in up-staring eyes Am In murk sunset and foul sunrise Am Dm E Am Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum. Am Fifteen men of 'em stiff and stark Am Dm E Am Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum! Am Ten of the crew had the murder mark! Am Dm E Am Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum! Am 'Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead Am G F E Or a yawing hole in a battered head Am And the scuppers' glut with a rotting red Am G And there they lay, aye, damn my eyes F E Looкing up at paradise Am All souls bound just contrariwise Am Dm E Am Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum. Am More was seen through a sternlight screen... Am Dm E Am Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum. Am Chartings undoubt where a woman had been Am Dm E Am Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum. Am 'Twas a flimsy shift on a bunker cot Am G F E With a dirk slit sheer through the bosom spot Am And the lace stiff dry in a purplish blot Am G Oh was she wench or some shudderin' maid F E That dared the knife and tooк the blade Am By God! she had stuff for a plucky jade Am Dm E Am Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum. Am Fifteen men on a dead man's chest Am Dm E Am Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum. Am Drink and the devil had done for the rest Am Dm E Am Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum. Am We wrapped 'em all in a mains'l tight Am G F E With twice ten turns of a hawser's bight Am And we heaved 'em over and out of sight, Am G With a Yo-Heave-ho! and a fare-you-well F E And a sudden plunge in the sullen swell Am Ten fathoms deep on the road to hell, Am Dm E Am Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
