[Verse 1: Major John]
Met the love of mine, aye a lad so fine
Oh somewhere in the Southern Caribbean
I was tied down below on an old ship of the line
You and me Donny, and the Devil makes three
On the cold and billowing sea

[Verse 2: Bellows]
Oh colony made, from the Dutch slave trade
Oh somewhere in the Southern Caribbean
Voluptuous and great was her rack of grenades
You and me Bonnie, and the Devil makes three
On the cold and billowing sea

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3: Bellows]
Not a single fleck, on her smooth curved neck
Oh somewhere in the Southern Caribbean
I had her released to the cannon deck
You and me Bonnie, and the Devil makes three
On the cold and billowing sea

[Verse 4: Major John]
Oh, without compare, was our love affair
Oh somewhere in the Southern Caribbean
All learned to beware of me deadly stare
You and me Donny, and the Devil makes three
On the cold and billowing sea
[Verse 5: Bellows]
Oh her cold round lips, they would hiss and spit
Oh somewhere in the Southern Caribbean
Unmatched be the weight of her iron hips
You and me Bonnie, and the Devil makes three
On the cold and billowing sea

[Verse 6: Major John]
And me deadly bite, It struck terror and fright
Oh somewhere in the Southern Caribbean
He snuck from ‘is watch to me bed at night
You and me Donny, and the Devil makes three
On the cold and billowing sea

[instrumental]

[Verse 7: Major John]
Then our ship ran aground, we for shipwreck were bound
Oh somewhere in the Southern Caribbean
I clasped round his waist as the keel spun around
You and me Donny, and the Devil makes three
On the cold and billowing sea

[Verse 8: Bellows]
With me old fine luck, oh me belt got stuck
Oh somewhere in the Southern Caribbean
As we fell over board, down the deep we were sucked
You and me Bonnie, and the Devil makes three
On the cold and billowing sea
[Instrumental]

[Verse 9: Bellows]
Now so dark be the scene, in this deep sea ravine
Oh somewhere in the Southern Caribbean
Oh, Be it the locker or fidd(e)lers green
You and me Bonnie, and the Devil makes three
On the cold and billowing sea

[Verse 10: Major John]
Aye here we be, on the bottom of the sea
Oh somewhere in the Southern Caribbean
Together with each other for eternity
You and me Donny, and the Devil makes three
On the cold and billowing sea

[instrumental]

[Verse 11: Bellows & Major John]
Aye here we be, on the bottom of the sea
Oh somewhere in the Southern Caribbean
Together with each other for eternity
You and me Bonnie, and the Devil makes three
You and me Donny, and the Devil makes three
On the cold and billowing sea
