Bottle of Rum Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My timbers are straining
Like on old ship at sea
Will it ever stop raining
Down on me?
My sails are weighed down
And my tiller won't steer
And only one screaming seagull
For company here

[Chorus]
Yo, ho, and a bottle of rum
Yo, ho, what's done is done

[Verse 2]
The sea comes alive
Incarnate in man
It falls and it rises
And we do what we can
To ride on the crest
Of that savage wave
The ocean's my master
And I am its slave

[Chorus]
Yo, ho, and a bottle of rum
Yo, ho, what's done is done

[Bridge]
Are you out there?
Something's breaking on the horizon
Is it you or just another desert island?
Can I land, can I come into your harbour?
Or must I wait for the oceans to be calmer?
Must I stay eternally at sea?
With only one screaming seagull for company

Yo, ho, and a bottle of rum
Yo, ho, and a bottle of rum
Yo, ho, and a bottle of rum
Yo, ho, what's done is done

[Chorus]
Yo, ho, and a bottle of rum
Yo, ho, what's done is done
Yo, ho, and a bottle of rum
Yo, ho, what's done is done
