[Lyrics] |: What shall we do with the drunken sailor, :| 3x early in the morning? |: Hooray, and up she rises, :| 3x early in the morning. Take him and shake him and try to awake him ... Give him a dose of salt and water, ... Give him a taste of the bosun's rope-end, ... Put him in the long-boat till he's sober, ... Pull out the plug and wet him all over, ... Heave him by the leg in a running bowlin', ... That's what to do with a drunken sailor, ... ************************************ | h Hammer-on | p Pull-off | / Slide-up ************************************
