Tommy Makem – The Drunken Sailor lyrics
Chorus:
Way, hay up she rises,
Way, hay, up she rises,
Way, hay, up she rises,
Early in the morning!

What will we do with the drunken sailor?
What will we do with the drunken sailor?
What will we do with the drunken sailor?
Early in the morning?

Chorus

Put him in the sucppers with the hose pipe on him X3
Early in the morning!

Chorus

Hoist him aboard with a running bowline X3
Early in the morning!

Chorus

Put him in the brig until he's sober. X3
Early in the morning!

Chorus

Make him turn to at shining bright work. X3
Early in the morning!

Chorus

Put him in a boat and row him over X3
Early in the morning!

Hoist him up to the topsail yardarm X3
Early in the morning!

Chorus

Make him clean out all the spit-kids X3
Early in the morning!

Chorus
