Ten pirates were drinking on their boat
Until they got completely drunk
The rum was strong, someone drank themselves to death
They threw him off the boat
Nine pirates went to their hiding place
All the treasures there were gone
In a fit of anger they unbuttoned one
Only eight went out again
Joho, yoho, yoho and a bottle full of rum
Joho, yoho, yoho and a bottle full of rum
Eight pirates were captured in battle
Two were dead when the moon rose
Only six managed to escape
Six pirates were fed up with the captain
Because he cheated on her
The mutiny raged for hours
Joho, yoho, yoho and a bottle full of rum
Joho, yoho, yoho and a bottle full of rum
Three pirates headed for a reef
The ship sank more and more quickly
Someone cleared the dinghy
There wasn't any left for the rest
A pirate hired again
Soon there were ten together
One brought the plague with him
That's how it became a ghost ship
Joho, yoho, yoho and a bottle full of rum
Joho, yoho, yoho and a bottle full of rum
Joho, yoho, yoho and a bottle full of rum
Joho, yoho, yoho and a bottle full of rum
Joho, yoho, yoho and a bottle full of rum
Joho, yoho, yoho and a bottle full of rum
