Come splice the mainbrace me hearties, you fools
You'll soon be the dinner for bloodthirsty schools
I won't be hornswaggled so don't even try
The life that you've chosen you'll never be dry

You're a scallywag blaggard
come share me some grog
You'll wear a hempen halter
as you swing from the log
So heave to and say a few prayers as you drink
It's to Davy Jone's locker you surely will sink

Chorus:
And we'll all go down,
We'll all go down,
We'll all go down with the ship!

A clap of thunder me matey drink it on down
There's danger ahead you'll be needing this round
Guzzle that grog you lasses and lads
Say goodbye to the landlocked lives that you had

Forty-five fathoms or further you'll go
You'll be salmagundi for the fish down below
But don't hang your jib let the drinking begin
Heave to and sail three sheets to thewind
