[Lyric] Raise The Black Flag (Teminite)

[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
