Lyrics
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.
Raped a girl stabbed her brother
Killed her father and her mother
Looking now to rape another
Burnt a church down near the quay
Thrown some children out to sea
He'll kill you and he'll kill me
Aliye in the morning
His dinner he does vomit out
Foul obscenities he shouts
Now he's foaming at the mouth
He'll bite you like a rabid dog
He shits himself like he's a hog
He's pissing in the face of God
Aliye in the morning
What shall we do with the drunken sailor
Put him in the long boat until he's sober
