Dead Man's Wreck

Written by Matthias Aaron, of Stay Frosty fame, and presented on our forums. Re-printed by permission of da author.

"I take this Pirate thing very seriously and today I was feeling musical so decided to re-write a classic, Stay Frosty Style. Sing it to the tune of the original "Dead man's Chest"! Louis Stevenson wrote only the first stanza in his book Treasure Island and others since have giving it a long and dreary lyric."



DEAD MAN'S WRECK

Sixty men on a dead man's wreck
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
We take what we want and blow up the rest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.

We're mean, we're angry and never turn back
With leader Rixx Javix we're a real class act
We swagger we stagger but never miss our mark
Our foes don't sleep cause they watch their back
We hide our loot taken from fool dead men
In Hevrice home where we make our den
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.

Sixty men and plenty more on our list
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
We're ready to die for good 'ol Rixx
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.

We make our living with blood and gore
Watch out you bears when you mine your ore
If you're going to plex better run and hide
Theres no getting away from our rising tide
it's one that surely you wont survive
And end up frozen sad upon the side
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum

Sixty men on a dead man's wreck
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
All skilled fighters both mean and black
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum

So come join today before its too late
Others will come and make off with your take
You'll be a scoundrel with both loath and hate
But your life will be yours, an' you'll decide your fate
Even if your status will drop to minus ten
You'll never regret not becoming a Hen
Yo Ho Ho and a bottle of rum!

Sixty men all good and true
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
We'll wreck your ships and pop your pods
YO HO HO AND A BOTTLE OF RUM!
