The Drunken Sailor; or, Early in the Morning

(Walkaway Shanty)

1. Oh, what shall we do with a drunken sailor,
2. Put him in the longboat till he gets sober,
What shall we do with a drunken sailor,
Put him in the longboat till he gets sober,
What shall we do with a drunken sailor,
Put him in the longboat till he gits sober,
Early in the morning?
Early in the morning!
3. Way, hay, and
up she rises, Way, hay, and up she rises,
Way, hay, and up she rises, Early in the morning!

4 Oh, what shall we do with a drunken soldier?

5 Put him in the guard-house till he gets sober.
