Full Lyrics
What shall we do with the drunken sailor, What shall we do with the drunken sailor, What shall we do with the drunken sailor, Early in the morning? Way, hay, and up she rises, Way, hay, and up she rises, Way, hay, and up she rises, Early in the morning! Put him in the long boat 'til he's sober, Put him in the long boat 'til he's sober, Put him in the long boat 'til he's sober, Early in the morning! Way, hay, and up she rises, Way, hay, and up she rises, Way, hay, and up she rises, Early in the morning!
