The drunken Sailor Set Lyrics

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?

Weigh heigh and up she rises

Weigh heigh and up she rises

Weigh heigh and up she rises

Early in the morning

Weigh heigh and up she rises

Weigh heigh and up she rises

Weigh heigh and up she rises

Early in the morning

Put him in the long boat till he's sober

Put him in the long-boat and make him bail her

Put him in the long boat till he's sober.

Early in the morning?

Weigh heigh and up she rises

Weigh heigh and up she rises

Weigh heigh and up she rises

Early in the morning

Weigh heigh and up she rises

Weigh heigh and up she rises

Weigh heigh and up she rises

Early in the morning

Shave his belly with a rusty razor

Shave his chin with a rusty razor

Shave his belly with a rusty razor

Early in the morning?

Weigh heigh and up she rises

Weigh heigh and up she rises

Weigh heigh and up she rises

Early in the morning

Weigh heigh and up she rises

Weigh heigh and up she rises

Weigh heigh and up she rises

Early in the morning

Put him in the bed with the captain's daughter

Put him in the bed with the captain's daughter

Put him in the bed with the captain's daughter

Early in the morning?

Weigh heigh and up she rises

Weigh heigh and up she rises

Weigh heigh and up she rises

Early in the morning

Weigh heigh and up she rises

Weigh heigh and up she rises

Weigh heigh and 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

Weigh heigh and up she rises

Weigh heigh and up she rises

Weigh heigh and up she rises

Early in the morning

Weigh heigh and up she rises

Weigh heigh and up she rises

Weigh heigh and up she rises

Early in the morning

Near Banbridge town, in the County Down

One morning in July

Down a boreen green came a sweet colleen

And she smiled as she passed me by

She looked so sweet from her two white feet

To the sheen of her nut-brown hair

Such a coaxing elf, l'd to shake myself

To make sure I was standing there

From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay

And from Galway to Dublin town

No maid l've seen like the sweet colleen

That I met in the County Down

As she onward sped I shook my head

And I gazed with a feeling rare

And I said, says I, to a passerby

Who's the maid with the nut-brown hair?

He smiled at me, and with pride says he

That's the gem of Ireland's crown.

She's young Rosie McCann from the banks of the Bann

She's the star of the County Down

From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay

And from Galway to Dublin town

No maid l've seen like the sweet colleen

That I met in the County Down

I've travelled a bit, but never was hit

Since my roving career began

But fair and square I surrendered there

To the charms of young Rose McCann

I'd a heart to let and no tenant yet

Did I meet with in shawl or gown

But in she went and I asked no rent

From the star of the County Down

From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay

And from Galway to Dublin town

No maid l've seen like the sweet colleen

That I met in the County Down

At the crossroads fair I'Il be surely there

And I'll dress in my Sunday clothes

And I'll try sheep's eyes, and deludhering lies

On the heart of the nut-brown rose

No pipe I'll smoke, no horse I'll yoke

Though with rust my plow turns brown

Till a smiling bride by my own fireside

Sits the star of the County Down

From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay

And from Galway to Dublin town,

No maid l've seen like the sweet colleen

That I met in the County Down

From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay

And from Galway to Dublin town,

No maid l've seen like the sweet colleen

That I met in the County Down
