Drunken Sailor Lyrics by Colm R. McGuinness

A Colm Night At Sea

2021

[Verse 1]
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 mornin'
[Chorus]
Way, hey, and up she rises
Way, hey, and up she rises
Way, hey, and up she rises
Early in the mornin'
[Verse 2]
Put 'im in the scuppers with the hose pipe on 'im
Put 'im in the scuppers with the hose pipe on 'im
Put 'im in the scuppers with the hose pipe on 'im
Early in the mornin'
[Chorus]
Way, hey, and up she rises
Way, hey, and up she rises
Way, hey, and up she rises
Early in the mornin'
[Verse 3]
Put 'im in the brig until he's sober
Put 'im in the brig until he's sober
Put 'im in the brig until he's sober
Early in the mornin'
[Chorus]
Way, hey, and up she rises
Way, hey, and up she rises
Way, hey, and up she rises
Early in the mornin'
