What shall we do with a drunken sailor? What shall we do with a drunken sailor? What shall we do with a drunken sailor? Early in the morning! Oh oh up she rises, Oh oh up she rises, Oh oh up she rises, Early in the morning! Shave his belly with a rusty razor, Shave his belly with a rusty razor, Shave his belly with a rusty razor, Early in the morning! Oh oh up she rises, Oh oh up she rises, Oh oh up she rises, Early in the morning! Put him in a long boat till his sober, Put him in a long boat till his sober, Put him in a long boat till his sober, Early in the morning! Oh oh up she rises, Oh oh up she rises, Oh oh up she rises, Early in the morning! Stick him in a scupper with a hosepipe on him, Stick him in a scupper with a hosepipe on him, Stick him in a scupper with a hosepipe on him, Early in the morning! Oh oh up she rises, Oh oh up she rises, Oh oh up she rises, Early in the morning! Put him in the bed with the captains daughter, Put him in the bed with the captains daughter, Put him in the bed with the captains daughter, Early in the morning! Oh oh up she rises, Oh oh up she rises, Oh oh up she rises, Early in the morning! That's what we do with a drunken sailor, That's what we do with a drunken sailor, That's what we do with a drunken sailor, Early in the morning! Oh oh up she rises, Oh oh up she rises, Oh oh up she rises, Early in the morning! Oh oh up she rises, Oh oh up she rises, Hooray... Early in the morning!

Leave Her, Johnny 03:31
lyrics
buy track
I thought I heard the Old Man say: "Leave her, Johnny, leave her." Tomorrow ye will get your pay, and its time for us to leave her. Leave her, Johnny, leave her! Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her! For the voyage is long and the winds don't blow And it's time for us to leave her. Oh, the wind was foul and the sea ran high Leave her, Johnny, leave her! She shipped it green and none went by. And it's time for us to leave her. I hate to sail on this rotten tub. "Leave her, Johnny, leave her!" No grog allowed and rotten grub. And it's time for us to leave her. We swear by rote for want of more. "Leave her, Johnny, leave her!" But now were through so we'll go on shore. And it's time for us to leave her. (Chorus)

Old Maui 04:43
lyrics

It's a damn tough life full of toil and strife We whalermen undergo And we don't give a damn when the day is done How hard the winds did blow Cause we're homeward bound from the Arctic ground With a good ship, taut and free And we don't give a damn when we drink our rum With the girls of Old Maui Rolling down to Old Maui, me boys Rolling down to Old Maui We're homeward bound from the Arctic ground Rolling down to Old Maui Once more we sail with a northerly gale Towards our island home Our mainmast sprung, our whaling done And we ain't go far to roam Six hellish months we passed away On the cold Kamchatka Sea But now we're bound from the Arctic ground Rolling down to Old Maui Rolling down to Old Maui, me boys Rolling down to Old Maui We're homeward bound from the Arctic ground Rolling down to Old Maui Once more we sail with a northerly gale Through the ice and wind and rain Them coconut fronds, them tropical lands We soon shall see again Our stuns'l booms are carried away What care we for that sound? A living gale is after us Thank God we're homeward bound Rolling down to Old Maui, me boys Rolling down to Old Maui We're homeward bound from the Arctic ground Rolling down to Old Maui How soft the breeze through the island trees Now the ice is far astern Them native maids, them tropical glades Is a-waiting our return Even now their big brown eyes look out Hoping some fine day to see Our baggy sails runnin' 'fore the gales Rolling down to old Maui Rolling down to Old Maui, me boys Rolling down to Old Maui We're homeward bound from the Arctic ground Rolling down to Old Maui Fa fa fa fa Fa fa fa fa Raise your voice (x4)
