"Dead Man's Chest" (also known as Fifteen Men on theDead Man's Chest) is a fictional sea song, originally from Robert Louis Stevenson's novel Treasure Island (1883). It was expanded in a poem, titled Derelict by Young E. Allison, published in the Louisville Courier-Journal in 1891. It has since been used in many later works of art in various forms.
In Treasure Island Stevenson only wrote the chorus, leaving the remainder of the song unwritten, and to the reader's imagination:
"Fifteen men on the dead man's chest-
...Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!
Drink and the devil had done for the rest-
...Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!"
Another lyric in the novel, near its end:
"But one man of her crew alive,
What put to sea with seventy-five."
