The drunken sailor
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
What shall we do with the drunken sailor? (What shall we do?)
What shall we do with the drunken sailor? (What shall we do?)
What shall we do with the drunken sailor? early in the morning?
Early up he rises!
Early up he rises!
Early up he rises!
Early in the morning
Eighty-five days on the wild, rough sea
When he returned he heard that she loves another one
That's what he told me last night in a tavern in the harbour
What shall we do with the drunken sailor? (What shall we do?)
What shall we do with the drunken sailor? (What shall we do?)
What shall we do with the drunken sailor? early in the morning?
Early up he rises!
Early up he rises!
Early up he rises!
Early in the morning
Mon capitain, ambre c'est moi
Forget your sorrow till tomorrow
Mon capitain, ambre c'est moi
Forget your sorrow dans mes bras
Mon capitain, ambre c'est moi
Forget your sorrow till tomorrow
Mon capitain, ambre c'est moi
Forget your sorrow dans mes bras
Last night you had a real ball
Flying so high and now low you fall
No, you were not happy at all
But you forget her at least till the morning
What shall we do with the drunken sailor? (What shall we do?)
What shall we do with the drunken sailor? (What shall we do?)
What shall we do with the drunken sailor? early in the morning?
Early up he rises!
Early up he rises!
Early up he rises!
Early in the morning
