Back on that old ship you had to be good with a blade. Every one of us was. None was better than old Grizwald though. He was quick as lighting that one.
If I had a million dollars - I'd commission you to illustrate this song - you big pirate you.
Yo Ho Ho And A Bottle Of Rum
Fifteen men on a dead man’s chest Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum Drink and the devil be done for the rest Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
The mate was fixed by the bos’n’s pike The bos’n’ brained with a marlin spike and Cookey’s throat was marked belike It Had been gripped by fingers ten and There they lay all good dead men like Break o’ day in a boozing ken__ Yo Ho Ho and a bottle of rum
Fifteen men of a whole ship’s list Yo Ho Ho and a bottle of rum Dead and be damned and the rest gone whist! Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
The skipper lay with his nob in gore where the Scullion’s axe his cheek had shore And the scullion he was stabbed times four and There he lay and the soggy skies Dripped all day in up-staring eyes at Murk sunset and at foul sur-prise Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Fifteen men of ‘em stiff and stark Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum Ten of the crew had the murder mark Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
‘Twas a cutlass swipe or and ounce of lead or a Yawning hole in a battered head and the scuppers glut with a yawning red and There they lay aye damn my eyes All lookouts clapped on par - a - dise all Souls bound just con – tra – ri - wise Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Fifteen men of ‘em good and true Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum Every man Jack could ha’ sailed with old Pew Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
There was chest on chest of Spanish gold with a Ton of plate in the middle hold And the cabins riot with stuff un told As They lay there that had took the plum
With a sightless glare and their lips struck dumb While we shared all by the rule of thumb Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Fifteen men of 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
We wrapped ‘em all in a mains’l tight with Twice ten turns of a hausers bight And we heaved ‘em over and out of sight with a Yo heave ho and fare you well And a sullen plunge in a sullen swell Ten fathoms deep on the road to hell Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum

Yo Ho Ho And A Bottle Of Rum
Fifteen men on a dead man’s chest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Drink and the devil be done for the rest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
The mate was fixed by the bos’n’s pike
The bos’n’ brained with a marlin spike and
Cookey’s throat was marked belike It
Had been gripped by fingers ten and
There they lay all good dead men like
Break o’ day in a boozing ken__
Yo Ho Ho and a bottle of rum
Fifteen men of a whole ship’s list
Yo Ho Ho and a bottle of rum
Dead and be damned and the rest gone whist!
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
The skipper lay with his nob in gore where the
Scullion’s axe his cheek had shore
And the scullion he was stabbed times four and
There he lay and the soggy skies
Dripped all day in up-staring eyes at
Murk sunset and at foul sur-prise
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Fifteen men of ‘em stiff and stark
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Ten of the crew had the murder mark
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
‘Twas a cutlass swipe or and ounce of lead or a
Yawning hole in a battered head
and the scuppers glut with a yawning red and
There they lay aye damn my eyes
All lookouts clapped on par - a - dise all
Souls bound just con – tra – ri - wise
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Fifteen men of ‘em good and true
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Every man Jack could ha’ sailed with old Pew
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
There was chest on chest of Spanish gold with a
Ton of plate in the middle hold
And the cabins riot with stuff un told As
They lay there that had took the plum
With a sightless glare and their lips struck dumb
While we shared all by the rule of thumb
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Fifteen men of 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
We wrapped ‘em all in a mains’l tight with
Twice ten turns of a hausers bight
And we heaved ‘em over and out of sight with a
Yo heave ho and fare you well
And a sullen plunge in a sullen swell
Ten fathoms deep on the road to hell
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
very nice drawings!
You have some beautiful work. There is so much mood in your drawings. Awesome stuff.
You've got a blog too?!?!
Maaaan. Nobody tells me these things anymore!
Maybe you could design a pirate for B's comic strip?
This is why you are one of the best.
Hope to run into you at the Con. :\
great work, I love your desperate pirate character
At the Comic Con Steve Purcell drew a rad cowboy monkey for me. And I showed my comic to Stan Sakai and he liked it!
Did you have a good time at the Con, Beathe?
