The tale of ale and sorrow

There was a crash
There was a splash
And down they fell
A barrel of ale
And crewmates three
To the bottom of the sea
  Yo-ho, down they go
A fish on land
Three crewmates damned
Yo-ho, down they go
To the bottom of the sea
  With a Heave
And a Ho
We saved the cask
And before ye ask
We saved our cremates, too
  Yo-ho, down they go
A fish on land
Three crewmates damned
Yo-ho, down they go
To the bottom of the sea
  Yo-ho, down they go
A fish on land
Three crewmates damned
Yo-ho, down they go
To the bottom of the sea
