Drunken Sailor



This is one of the most amazing sea shanties of them all. A work song which serves as a standard singalong for the British Navy. As it has gotten institutionalized, it has also taken on loads of bawdy verses which I will not share with you here! Enjoy!

What shall we do with a drunken sailor (3x)
Early in the morning
(chorus) Way Hey and up she rises (3x)
Early in the morning

Pull out the plug and wet him all over (3x)
(chorus)

Shave his belly with a rusty razor! (3x)
(chorus)

Tie him by the leg in a running bow line (3x)

Wake him up and shaken him up! (3x)
(chorus)

Early in the morning!!!
