Joho und ne Buddel voll Rum English translation
von Santiano

Ten pirates were drinking on their ship
Until they got completely drunk
The rum was strong, one of them drank himself to death
They threw him overboard

Nine pirates were sailing to their hideaway
All the treasures there were gone
In a rage they hanged one of them
Just eight of them went to sea again

Joho, joho, joho and a bottle full of rum
Joho, joho, joho and a bottle full of rum

Eight pirates were captured in a battle
All men to the gallows
Two were dead when the moon was rising
Only six of them could escape

Six pirates were fed up with the captain
Because he deceived them
The mutiny was raging for hours
Finally three men died


Joho, joho, joho and a bottle full of rum
Joho, joho, joho and a bottle full of rum

Three pirates headed for a reef
The ship sank faster and faster
One man launched the dinghy
There was no one left for the rest

One pirate hired again
Soon again ten men were complete
One man brought along the plague
So it became a ghost ship

Joho, joho, joho and a bottle full of rum
Joho, joho, joho and a bottle full of rum

Joho, joho, joho and a bottle full of rum
Joho, joho, joho and a bottle full of rum

Joho, joho, joho and a bottle full of rum
Joho, joho, joho and a bottle full of rum

And a bottle
And a bottle
And a bottle full of rum
