Sinking in the dead of night

(Chorus) Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum, Sailing the seas till the day we're done. Lost our ship to a mutiny's might, Now we're sinking in the dead of night. (Verse 1) We set sail on the ocean wide, With our ship, our pride, our guide. But the crew turned on the captain bold, Left us adrift in a row boat cold. (Chorus) Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum, Sailing the seas till the day we're done. Lost our ship to a mutiny's might, Now we're sinking in the dead of night. (Verse 2) With naught but oars and the stars above, We rowed away, seeking love. But the waves grew fierce, the wind did roar, And soon we found ourselves near death's door. (Chorus) Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum, Sailing the seas till the day we're done. Lost our ship to a mutiny's might, Now we're sinking in the dead of night. (Verse 3) Our voices hoarse, our spirits low, As the row boat sinks, we know, That our fate is sealed beneath the foam, In the deep blue sea, our final home. (Chorus) Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum, Sailing the seas till the day we're done. Lost our ship to a mutiny's might, Now we're sinking in the dead of night. (Verse 4) With water rising, our hopes grow thin, Soon we'll rot on the ocean floor, within. But we'll sing our songs, brave and true, For the sea takes all, both me and you. (Chorus) Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum, Sailing the seas till the day we're done. Lost our ship to a mutiny's might, Now we're sinking in the dead of night. (Bridge) So here's to the sailors lost at sea, To the ones who fought but couldn't flee. May their souls find peace in the ocean's embrace, As we sing this shanty in their place. (Chorus) Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum, Sailing the seas till the day we're done. Lost our ship to a mutiny's might, Now we're sinking in the dead of night.
