| Info: "What Shall We do with a Drunken Sailor" is a sea shanty, sung to accompany certain work tasks aboard sailing ships. It is believed to originate in the early 19th century or before, during a period when ships' crews, especially those of military vessels, were sufficiently large to permit hauling a rope whilst simply marching along the deck. There are many variants of verses, each successive verse suggests a method of sobering or punishing the drunken sailor. Lyrics 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 morning? Hoo-ray and up she rises Hoo-ray and up she rises Hoo-ray and up she rises Early in the morning Traditional verses: Put in the long boat 'til he's sober. Put him in the scuppers with a hosepipe on him. Pull out the plug and wet him all over. Scrape the hair off his chest with a hoop-iron razor. Give 'im a dose of salt and water. Stick on his back a mustard plaster. Give 'im a taste of the bosun's rope-end. | |
