Lyrics

Pump me boys!
 Pump them dry
 Down to hell, and up to the sky
 Bend your back and break your bones
 We're just a thousand miles from home
 The captain's daughter I suppose
 Could be called an English Rose
 What would you think when I propose?
 The pox to me she gave a dose
 Pump me boys, pump her dry
 Down to hell and up to the sky
 Bend your back and break your bones
 We're just a thousand miles from home
 This rose well did she prick me sore
 I never felt so bad before
 Thanks to the girl I did adore
 I thought I'd never pump no more
 Pump me boys, pump her dry
 Down to hell and up to the sky
 Bend your back and break your bones
 We're just a thousand miles from home
 I called the doctor right away
 To find out what he had to say
 That's two pounds ten get on your way
 I'm sure the girl is in his pay
 Pump me boys, pump her dry
 Down to hell and up to the sky
 Bend your back and break your bones
 We're just a thousand miles from home
 They say life has its ups and downs
 That really now is quite profound
 I'd like to push the capstan 'round
 But its pump me boys before we drown
 Pump me boys, pump her dry
 Down to hell and up to the sky
 Bend your back and break your bones
 We're just a thousand miles from home
 The ocean we do all adore
 So come a lads let's pump some more
 Don't worry if your stiff and sore
 I'm sure we've pumped this bit before
 Pump me boys, pump her dry
 Down to hell and up to the sky
 Bend your back and break your bones
 We're just a thousand miles from home
 Sometimes when I am in me bed
 And thinking of me day ahead
 I wish that I could wake up dead
 But pumpin's all I get instead
 Pump me boys, pump her dry
 Down to hell and up to the sky
 Bend your back and break your bones
 We're just a thousand miles from home
 Yes, how I wish that I could die
 The swine who built this tub to find
 I'd bring him back from where he fries
 To pump him until the beggar's dry
 Pump me boys, pump her dry
 Down to hell and up to the sky
 Bend your back and break your bones
 We're just a thousand miles from home
 If Noah used him for his ark
 Now wouldn't that have been a lark
 From rising sun till getting dark
 The animals all hard at work
 Pump me boys, pump her dry
 Down to hell and up to the sky
 Bend your back and break your bones
 We're just a thousand miles from home
 There's so much water down below
 Just how it got there I don't know
 The old man says let's roll and go
 But I assure we're bound for Davey Jones
 Pump me boys, pump her dry
 Down to hell and up to the sky
 Bend your back and break your bones
 We're just a thousand miles from home
 Pump me boys, pump her dry
 Down to hell and up to the sky
 Bend your back and break your bones
 We're just a thousand miles from home
 Pump me boys, pump her dry
 Down to hell and up to the sky
 Bend your back and break your bones
 We're just a thousand miles from home
