Burl Ives - The Drunken Sailor lyrics

[Burl Ives - The Drunken Sailor lyrics]

What should we do with a drunken sailor
What should we do with a drunken sailor
What should we do with a drunken sailor
Earl-eye in the mornin'?

Way hay up she rises way hay up she rises
Way hay up she rises earl-eye in the morn'

Give him a hair of the dog that bit him
Give him a hair of the dog that bit him
Give him a hair of the dog that bit him
Earl-eye in the mornin'

Way hay up she rises way hay up she rises
Way hay up she rises earl-eye in the morn'

Put him in the scuppers with
The hose pipe on him
Put him in the scuppers with
The hose pipe on him
Put him in the scuppers with
The hose pipe on him earl-eye in the mornin'

Way hay up she rises way hay up she rises
Way hay up she rises earl-eye in the morn'

Hoist him up to the topsail yardarm
Hoist him up to the topsail yardarm
Hoist him up to the topsail yardarm
Earl-eye in the mornin'

Way hay up she rises way hay up she rises
Way hay up she rises earl-eye in the morn'

Put him in the brig until he's sober
Put him in the brig until he's sober
Put him in the brig until he's sober
Earl-eye in the mornin'

Way hay up she rises way hay up she rises
Way hay up she rises earl-eye in the morn'

That's what to do with a drunken sailor
That's what to do with a drunken sailor
That's what to do with a drunken sailor
Earl-eye in the mornin'

Way hay up she rises way hay up she rises
Way hay up she rises earl-eye in the morn'
