trolley of an electric car on Clark Street!" Of course, the listener crept closer, and this is what he heard:
Fifteen men on the 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!
For they drank and drank and got so drunk,
Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!
Each from the dead man bit a chunk,
Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!
The bottle burst and the men accurst,
Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!
Sucked his blood to quench their thirst,
Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!
They sucked his blood and crunched his bones,
Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!
When suddenly up came Davy Jones,
Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!
'My men,' says he, 'you must come with me,'
Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!
And he grinned with a horrible kind of glee,
Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!
Davy Jones had a big black key,
Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!
It was for his locker beneath the sea,
Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!
He winked and he blinked like an owl in a tree,
Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!
And he sank them all to the bottom of the sea,
Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!
