Thread Name: Lyr Req: The Derelict: 'Yo ho ho and a bottle...'
Subject: RE: lyric search : : The Derelict
It is quoted in Stevenson's Treasure Islands several times. This song often called "Yo Ho Ho" is sung in an Allison and Walker musical (1901) based on it. There are at least two MIDI sites playing the song. Sorry, I've forgotten where. "Dead Man's Chest," I believe, was originally the name of an island, where 15 men were deserted.
