Title: The Drunken Sailor
|
Notes on this song: This walkaway shanty, also known as a "stamp and go," is a favorite of many folks. There are several versions. Performers sometimes make up their own answers to the question of what to do with a drunken sailor, and they're usually funny. Resources for more information

Lyrics: What'll we do with a
drunken sailor, Put him in the long
boat till he's sober, Way hay and up she rises What'll we do with a
drunken sailor, Way hay and up she rises What'll we do with a
drunken sailor, Shave his belly with a rusty razor. Way hay and up she rises What'll we do with a
drunken sailor, Put him in bed with the captain's daughter. Way hay and up she rises
