Drunken Sailor by The Rum Fellows Lyrics
[Verse 1]
What shall we do with a drunken sailor? (x3)
Er'ly in the morning?
What shall we do with a drunken sailor? (x3)
Er'ly in the morning?
Way, hey, and up she rises (x3)
[Verse 2]
Put him in a longboat until he's sober (x3)
Er'ly in the morning
Keep him there and make him bail 'er(x3)
Er'ly in the morning
[Chorus]
Way, hey, and up she rises (x3)
Er'ly in the morning
[Verse 3]
Put him in the scuppers with a hose pipe on him (x3)
Er'ly in the morning
Take 'im and shake 'im and try and wake him (x3)
Er'ly in the morning
[Chorus]
[Verse 4]
Give him a dose of salt and water (x3)
Er'ly in the morning
Take him to the pub and get him drunker (x3)
Er'ly in the morning
[Chorus]
[Verse 5]
Give a taste of the bosun's rope-end (x3)
Er'ly in the morning
Shave his belly with a rusty razor (x3)
Er'ly in the morning
[Chorus]
[Verse 6]
Mary him off to the captain's daughter (x3)
Er'ly in the morning
Have you seen the captain's daughter? (x3)
Er'ly in the morning
[Chorus]
What shall we do with a drunken sailor? (x3)
Er'ly in the morning?
What shall we do with a drunken sailor? (x3)
Er'ly in the morning?
Way, hey, and up she rises (x3)
