What shall we do with the drunken sailor
What shall we do with the drunken sailor
What shall we do with the drunken sailo
Early in the mornin´
Early, up he rises, early, up he rises
Early, up he rises
Early in the mornin´
Eighty-five days on a wild rough sea
When he returned, he heard that she
Loves another one, that´s what he told me
Last night in the tavern in the harbour
What shall we do with the drunken sailor
What shall we do with the drunken sailor
What shall we do with the drunken sailo
Early in the mornin´
Early, up he rises, early, up he rises
Early, up he rises
Early in the mornin´
Whisky and women, you had a real ball
You climbed so high and now so low you fall
Your eyes told me, you were not happy at all
But you´ll forget her, at least ´till the morning
What shall we do with the drunken sailor
What shall we do with the drunken sailor
What shall we do with the drunken sailo
Early in the mornin´
Early, up he rises, early, up he rises
Early, up he rises
Early in the mornin´
Mon capitan, embrasse moi
Forget your sorrow, ´till tomorrow
Mon capitain, embrasse moi
Forget yoiur sorrow, dans mes bras
