"The Black Spot Blues" from Treasure Island; THE Musical Comedy Play

Billy Bones, an old salty pirate who resides at the
Inn, gives young Jim Hawkins a treasure map to keep
safe. Blind Pew (wearing many earrings) brings Billy Bones news of his impending
doom and gives him the mark of death, or what
pirates call, The Black Spot. For his final words, he
sings the blues: "The Black Spot Blues".
Prior to this song, Dr. Livesey tells Billy Bones that he is dying, and to stay away from the rum. All the while, Billy Bones continues to drink throughout the song, slowly losing his grip on life. He passes out at the end of the last verse, then pops back to life to sing the last chorus. Finally, he dies at the end of the song leaving the last word, ("blues") to be sung by the back-up singers.
Musical hilarity at it's best!!
