Ye Banished Privateers
Cooper’s Rum
Hey ri do rum dum, hey ri do more rum
I never had a spirit like a Cooper's rum
Hey ri do rum dum, hey ri do more rum
I never had a spirit like a Cooper's rum
Hey ri do rum dum, hey ri do more rum
I never had a spirit like a Cooper's rum
Hey ri do rum dum, hey ri do more rum
I never had a spirit like a Cooper's rum
Hey ri do rum dum, hey ri do more rum
I never had a spirit like a Cooper's rum
Hey ri do rum dum, hey ri do more rum
I never had a spirit like a Cooper's rum
From molasses black and thick as tar
Muscovado sugar in a rusty jar
Stored for years in a powder keg
Stirred around with a wooden leg
Hey ri do rum dum, hey ri do more rum
I never had a spirit like a Cooper's rum
Hey ri do rum dum, hey ri do more rum
I never had a spirit like a Cooper's rum
Hey ri do rum dum, hey ri do more rum
I never had a spirit like a Cooper's rum
Hey ri do rum dum, hey ri do more rum
I never had a spirit like a Cooper's rum
From the rotten stalks of sugar canes
Mixed with dirt and roasted grains
Cut with water thick of weed
Twice times sieved through a moldy reed
Hey ri do rum dum, hey ri do more rum
I never had a spirit like a Cooper's rum
Hey ri do rum dum, hey ri do more rum
I never had a spirit like a Cooper's rum
Hey ri do rum dum, hey ri do more rum
I never had a spirit like a Cooper's rum
Hey ri do rum dum, hey ri do more rum
I never had a spirit like a Cooper's rum
I beg your attention
So now, quiet if you please
I'd like to propose a toast
To the Queen that last in Hell
From molasses black and thick as tar
Muscovado sugar in a rusty jar
Stored for years in a powder keg
Stirred around with a wooden leg
Hey ri do rum dum, hey ri do more rum
I never had a spirit like a Cooper's rum
Hey ri do rum dum, hey ri do more rum
I never had a spirit like a Cooper's rum
Hey ri do rum dum, hey ri do more rum
I never had a spirit like a Cooper's rum
Hey ri do rum dum, hey ri do more rum
I never had a spirit like a Cooper's rum
Oh we've never had a spirit
No we've never had a spirit
No we've never had a spirit like a Cooper's rum
