Please listen to me words me friends
Ahoy! Ahoy!
Our world is coming to an end
Ahoy! Ahoy!
At sea, there dreadful horrors be
They're coming here
For you and me

And they all be doomed when ye dead come sailin' home

In fifteen hundred and sixty-one
Ahoy! Ahoy!
A ship with crew went down and drowned
Ahoy! Ahoy!
But the captain said 'we men won't stay
I'll sell me soul
To be back one day'!
In a hundred years
Ye dead will sail again

When ye dead come sailin' home again
Ahoy! Ahoy!
All men and women tremble then
Ahoy! Ahoy!
Oh, the men will flee and the boys will shout
And the ladies will all turn out
And they all be doomed when ye dead come sailin' home
Ye old church bell shall ring with dread
Ahoy! Ahoy!
To welcome our returning dead
Ahoy! Ahoy!
The village lads and lassies say
'Piles of corpses line the way'!
And they all be doomed when ye dead come sailin' home

In sixteen hundred and sixty-one
Ahoy! Ahoy!
Ye dead shall sail again me friend
Ahoy! Ahoy!
In sixteen hundred and sixty-one
All men and women will turn and run
And they all be doomed when ye dead come sailin' home

Them hundred years has passed so fast
Ahoy! Ahoy!
Behold! A Sea! A crooked mast!
Ahoy! Ahoy!
A rotten deck
On a leaking hull
On it a rime of bones and scum
And they all be doomed when
Yes, they all be doomed when
And we all be doomed when ye dead come sailin' home
