Billy Bones

Pirate Song

Skip Henderson - Billy Bones

Good morning to you Billy Bones, Billy Bones
Good Morning to you charming Billy,
When I last saw your hands, they were brown as my own,
Now up through white fingers the grasses have grown.
And what of this cutlass, so carelessly thrown,
On the ground, Billy Bones, billy Bones?


Bones, bones, bones, Billy Bones,
Send him off to Davy Jones!
Of rum and gold and wenches bold,
You've had your last fill Billy Bones!


Good morning to you, Billy Bones, Billy Bones
Good morning to you charming Billy,
That chest that you're laying on once sailed the salt sea,
That's why you, I, and Flint'yd agree,
To divvy the contents up in to three,
Gold and Jewels, Billy Bones, Billy Bones.



Good morning to you, Billy Bones, Billy Bones
Good morning to you charming Billy,
You've done in many a Tar in your day,
And sent 'em off to sleep in the bay,
Well it looks like turn-about's, Fair Play!
At least for today, Billy Bones!


Good morning to you, Billy Bones, Billy Bones
Good morning to you charming Billy,
Now old Flint is dead, and that leaves only me,
So I'll shovel your bony old arse in the sea,
And I'll drink to your health, which you'll never see!
Without eyes, without lips, skully bones.

(Chorus),

@staffordrh2 From what I can see, the artist is "Skip Henderson". And you can buy it as an mp3 on amazon. That's what I did, anyway. I should think it is the second track of a cd.
