[Instrumental drum opening] [Verse 1] Oh, we sailed on the seas so bold and free, With a bottle o’ rum for you and me, We hid it away in a barrel o’ grain, And drank in the moonlight out o’ the rain. [Chorus] Yo-ho-ho, the rum it flows, Raise yer glass, let the captain know, From stem to stern, we laugh and hum, Til the captain joins in on the sailor’s rum. [Verse 2] Now the cap'n he stormed, his eyes all ablaze, “Who dares drink my rum on these salty sprays?” But we stood firm, with a grin so sly, An’ said, “Just a taste, to keep spirits high!” [Chorus] Yo-ho-ho, the rum it flows, Raise yer glass, let the captain know, From stem to stern, we laugh and hum, Til the captain joins in on the sailor’s rum. [Verse 3] Then he grabbed the cup from old Jolly Jim, Took a swig so grand, and said with a grin, “If ye dare drink without yer chief, Ye best be sharin’ with me, you thieves!” [Chorus] Yo-ho-ho, the rum it flows, Raise yer glass, let the captain know, From stem to stern, we laugh and hum, Til the captain joins in on the sailor’s rum. [Verse 4] Now side by side we sang and we drank, With the captain’s voice loud as the cannon's clank, The stars above and the waves below, And the captain’s cheer, a hearty “Yo-ho!” [Chorus] Yo-ho-ho, the rum it flows, Raise yer glass, let the captain know, From stem to stern, we laugh and hum, For the captain's the heart o' the sailor’s rum! [epic ending]
