Drunken Sailor
"What Shall We Do With A Drunken Sailor" lyrics and music traditional
Performed by Marc Gunn
From: St. Patrick's Day
What shall we do with a drunken sailor,
What shall we do with a drunken sailor,
What shall we do with a drunken sailor,
Early in the morning?
chorus:
Weigh heigh and up she rises
Weigh heigh and up she rises
Weigh heigh and up she rises
Early in the morning
Put him in a long boat till he’s sober.
Leave him there till they make him better.
Trice up in a running bowline.
Give ‘im a dose of salt and water.
Give ‘im a taste of the bosun’s rope-end.
Soak him in oil till he sprouts a flipper.
Shave his belly with a rusty razor.
Put him in the bed of the Captain’s daughter.
You should of seen the Captain’s daughter.
She looks like an orangutan.
Swinging from a chandalier.
That’s what you do with a drunken sailor.
Chords: Key Dm
[Dm]What shall we do with a drunken sailor,
[C]What shall we do with a drunken sailor,
[Dm]What shall we do with a drunken sailor,
Early [C]in the [Dm]morning?
