Fifteen Men (Bottle of Rum) - Original Version

The most realistic and accurate version of this all-time pirate tune. Forget POTC.
The song is subtitled, so you can sing it in your nights at sea!
This is from the Roger Wagner Chorale recording of Sea Chantys. Capitol record number P3462 of 1959. Harve Presnell is the soloist. Thanks to IUFTR for the info and sorry for my big mistake.
As you will know, the song is based on the lyrics by R.L. Stevenson's Treasure Island, one of the greatest novels ever written. I think this version captures its essence, and because of it I say it's the most realistic and accurate version (for me).
Stevenson is one of my favourite writers. From The Master of Ballantrae and The Wrecker, his horror literature as The Body Snatcher or Markheim, to his travel books as The Silverado Squatters. I have ALL his works published in Spain! ;)

yawning hole: When a man yawns, he opens his mouth as much as he cannot do it in real life. A yawning hole means a deep and wide hole, like a yawning mouth.

It is possible to find some relationship between tavern songs and pirate songs? I´m trying to imagine the songs that Almirante Brown´s croud could sing at the XIX century...

This is just the opposite of Disney´s pirate songs

A yawing Hole in someones head would be a deep wound. Like taking a pistol blast to the face. That sort of wound.

Sounds kinda like Patrick Stewart singing with'em.

@234xy I think it's 'yawning', like 'cavernous' or simply 'deep' (I'm Spaniard, sorry).

This version is sung by the Robert Shaw Chorale I think.

@PG19011975 That's what I said in the first video description, but @IUFTR helped to make it clear.
