Song | Fifteen Men (And A Bottle Of Rum) |
Artist | Mercyful Fate |
Album | Into The Unknown |
(music:denner/lyrics:diamond) | |
1640. the caribbean sea, the wind was just a breeze | |
Heading for a western shore, the barque was sailing east | |
Close hauled into the eye | |
The "unicorn" was riding high on the tide | |
And the rum went down their throats...with a twist of wine | |
Just...after midnight, nobody saw the antigua shore | |
Just...after midnight, nobody heard the thunder roar | |
Ohh...they were heading straight for the reefs | |
Just...after midnight, they were caught by the storm | |
Solo: shermann - denner | |
1640. the caribbean sea, the wind was not just a breeze | |
The captain and the crew were fighting for their lives | |
But they didn't stand a chance with their drunken minds | |
Going down...to their watery graves | |
Going down...going down... | |
Fifteen men and a bottle of rum | |
It's the captain and the crew of the "unicorn" | |
Listen hard on a stormy night | |
And you just might hear them singing that rhyme | |
Oh yeah...a ghost that never dies | |
Fifteen men and a bottle of rum | |
It's the captain stuck in the "unicorn" | |
Oh yeah...a ghost that never dies | |
It's a warning, storm is coming, yeah, you better look out |

Going down... to their watery graves | |
Going down... going down... | |
Fifteen men and a bottle of rum | |
It' s the captain and the crew of the " unicorn" | |
Listen hard on a stormy night | |
And you just might hear them singing that rhyme | |
Oh yeah... a ghost that never dies | |
