Pump me boys, pump a drive 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 a drive 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, sir, 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 a drive 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 a drive 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 [G] is quite profound, I'd like to push the capstan round, but it's pump me boys before we drown.
Pump me boys, pump a drive [C] 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 on lads, let's pump some more, don't worry if you're stiff and sore, but I'm sure we've pumped this bit before.
Pump me boys, pump a drive 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'm in me bed and thinking of me dead, I wish that I could wake up dead, but pumping's all I get instead.
Pump me boys, pump a drive down to hell and up to the sky, bend your back and break your bones, we're just a thousand miles from home.
Here's how I wish that I could die, the swine who built this tub to fight, I'd bring him [Eb] back from where he froze, to pump until the beggars dry.
Pump me boys, pump a drive 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, oh wouldn't that have been a rising sun to getting dark, the animals are hard at work.
Pump me [Ab] boys, pump a drive down to hell and up to the sky, bend your back and break [Fm] 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'm sure we're bound for Davy Jones.
Pump me [D] boys, pump a drive down to hell and up to the [Cm] sky, bend your back and break [Eb] your bones, we're just a thousand miles from home.
Pump me boys, pump
