<P> What put to sea with seventy - five ." </P> <P> Stevenson does not make clear if this lyric is part of Dead Man's Chest or another fictional song entirely . Regardless, the words of the lyric help advance the storyline . </P> <P> Other variations of the poem were printed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries that claimed to be folklore, but in reality were nothing more than new extensions from Stevenson's original . One appeared in the Chicago Times - Herald named "Stevenson's Sailor Song" by an anonymous author, who claimed to hear it being sung on the "wharfs of Chicago" by a group of "old time sailors", who when asked where they learned it, replied' We never learned it nowhere, we allers knowed it .' The story was meant as a hoax but some took it seriously . Another appeared in print as "Billy Bones's Fancy", supposedly pieced together from various "fragments", suggesting an antiquated origin, but in fact it was an adaptation of the Times - Herald piece . As Stevenson's stepson Osbourne once said, "' Fifteen - Men' was wholly original with Stevenson," and as Stevenson himself said, the book At Last by Kingsley was "the seed" of his invention . </P> <P> The song has been widely used in the arts for over a century . In 1901 music was added to the lyrics of "Derelict" by Henry Waller for a Broadway rendition of Treasure Island . In the 1954 film Return to Treasure Island, starring Robert Newton, the song was sung in the opening credits, and instrumentally as the thematic background to the action . In the 1959 television series The Adventures of Long John Silver--again starring Robert Newton--it was, although only in instrumental version, the series' theme song played both at the beginning and the end of each episode . In 1967, writers for the Walt Disney film company found inspiration in "Derelict" for the sea - song "Yo Ho (A Pirate's Life for Me)", which was played in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" theme ride at Disneyland . Astrid Lindgren expanded Stevenson's couplet differently in the script for the 1969 Pippi Longstocking TV series; the two resulting verses were sung to a West Indian sea shanty . Alan Moore made a play on the song in the 1986 graphic novel Watchmen; the chapter is called "One man on fifteen dead men's chests ." In 1993, the contemporary "pirate" vocal group, The Jolly Rogers, recorded Mark Stahl's arrangement of Young E. Allison's lyrics, re-released in 1997 on their CD titled "Pirate Gold". A rendition was recorded by the steampunk band Abney Park as "The Derelict". In the second Pirates of the Caribbean film, Master Gibbs sang the original version from Treasure Island--a fourth wall joke, as the film was called Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest . </P>
