Drunken Sailor |
| From Tortuga’s port we put to sea |
| And sailed for sixteen days |
| In the biggest storm I’d ever seen |
| We almost lost our way |
| When a call came from a deckhand |
| «Boys, I think she’s going down |
| But don’t you fear, there’s enough rum here |
| To drink until we drown!» |
| Ho! |
| What shall we do with a drunken sailor? |
| What shall we do with a drunken sailor? |
| What shall we do with a drunken sailor? |
| Ear-lie in the morning |
| Hoo-ray and up she rises (Hoo-ray) |
| Hoo-ray and up she rises (Hoo-ray) |
| Hoo-ray and up she rises (Hoo-ray) |
| Ear-lie in the morning |
| So this deckhand grabbed a barrel |
| Broke the seal and took a swig |
| And soon their screams turned into songs |
| Their panicked work turned into jigs |
| The first mate bellowed orders |
| Ever trying to save their skins |
| «Any drunken retch the captain catch |
| He’ll beat all limb from limb!» |
| Ho! |
| What shall we do with a drunken sailor? |
| What shall we do with a drunken sailor? |
| What shall we do with a drunken sailor? |
| Ear-lie in the morning |
| Hoo-ray and up she rises (Hoo-ray) |
| Hoo-ray and up she rises (Hoo-ray) |
| Hoo-ray and up she rises (Hoo-ray) |
| Ear-lie in the morning |
| Every man continued drinking |
| All their duties long forgot |
| They were deaf to every order |
| 'Til they heard a pistol shot |
| The captain stood on fo’c’stle |
| Swung the cat above his head |
| «Back to yer post or by my ghost |
| Ye’ll wish that ye were dead!» |
| Ho! |
| What shall we do with a drunken sailor? |
| What shall we do with a drunken sailor? |
| What shall we do with a drunken sailor? |
| Ear-lie in the morning |
| Hoo-ray and up she rises (Hoo-ray) |
| Hoo-ray and up she rises (Hoo-ray) |
| Hoo-ray and up she rises (Hoo-ray) |
| Ear-lie in the morning |
| Every drunk received a beating |
| Some of the drunker managed two |
| The captain kept an eye |
| Until he’d sobered up his crew |
| He then retired to quarters |
| Put the rum upon his shelf |
| Sat in his seat, put up his feet |
| And drank the rest himself! |
| Ho! |
| What shall we do with a drunken sailor? |
| What shall we do with a drunken sailor? |
| What shall we do with a drunken sailor? |
| Ear-lie in the morning |
| Hoo-ray and up she rises (Hoo-ray) |
| Hoo-ray and up she rises (Hoo-ray) |
| Hoo-ray and up she rises (Hoo-ray) |
| Ear-lie in the morning |
| Put him in the longboat 'til he’s sober |
| Shave his belly with a rusty razor |
| Throw him in the hold with the captain’s daughter |
| Ear-lie in the morning |
