MinRat Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 Hear is a time to use your head (if you still got one) to be creative. Try to think up some new verses to the song "The Drunken Sailor." "The Drunken Sailor" is fo'c'sle song. In other words it is a song sang when there is nothing to do and the crew of the ship is board. What shall we do with the drunken sailor, What shall we do with the drunken sailor, What shall we do with the drunken sailor, earlye in the morning. (What ever the verse that you create is) ex, Shave his belly with a rusty razor Shave his belly with a rusty razor, Shave his belly with a rusty razor, earlye in the morning. Way, way up she rises, Way, way up she rises, Way, way up she rises, earlye in the morning. Wile you sit and ponder I will happily provide the drinks. I love being on leave.

Ida Dunnitt Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 Hmmm... How about these: Make him clean up after the sick ship's surgeon... Stab him with a spoon, because you know it'll hurt more... Call the fab five to give him a complete makeover... Tattoo him with a picture of the cast of "Fraiser"... Use his tongue to swab termites from the figurehead... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serendipity Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 Amoung other verses, some my group uses are these... Put a monkey down his breeches, Put a monkey down his breeches, Put a monkey down his breeches, Earl-y in the morning. Way, hey up she rises, Way, hey up she rises, Way, hey up she rises, earl-y in the morning. Steal his stuff when he's not looking, steal his stuff when he's not looking, steal his stuff when he's not looking, earl-y in the morning! Way, hey up she rises, Way, hey up she rises, Way, hey up she rises, earl-y in the morning. Hang his undies from the yard arm, hang his undies from the yard arm, hang his undies from the yard arm, earl-y in the morning. Way, hey up she rises, Way, hey up she rises, Way, hey up she rises, earl-y in the morning. Shave his legs and call him Julie, Shave his legs and call him Julie, Shave his legs and call him Julie, Earl-y in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trapper Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 The verses I was always partial to were: Hit 'im in the face with a nasty salmon Put 'im in bed with the Captain's daughter You've never seen the Captain's daughter There she is," friggin'" in the riggin'. The last one was always requested by the Navy guys. Trapper Captain of the Tinker's Damn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Pyrate Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 And the traditional one after that is "Take the baby and name it Bosun.." And I always thought Drunken Sailor was a capstan song, not a foc's'le. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinRat Posted January 25, 2004 Author Share Posted January 25, 2004 I have a feeling about what most people's definition of a captains daughter is. But it is not that, a captains daughter is a whip like the cat-O'-nine-tails. To "Put him in bed with the captain's daughter" means simply flog him. As for it being a capstan song that may be so, it has the right rhythm. I love being on leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desert Pyrate Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 here are some more I found online Put him in a long-boat till he's sober Keep him there and make 'im bale 'er. Trice him up in a runnin' bowline. Tie him to the tasffrail when she's yard-arm under. Put him in the scuppers with a hose-pipe on him Take 'im and shake 'im and try an' wake 'im Give 'im a dose of salt and water. Give 'im a taste of the bosun's rope-end. Stick on 'is back a mustard plaster. Soak 'im in oil till he sprouts a flipper. Put him in the guard room till he gets sober. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastie04 Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 Some of my favorite I must credit to either the Corsairs or the Jolly Rogers (can't remember which CD it's on). They came a few verses after the Captain's Daughter verses. Give 'im the hair of the dog what bit him* Give 'im the hair of the dog what bit him Give 'im the hair of the dog what bit him Early in the mornin' But have you seen the dog what bit him? Have you seen the dog what bit him? ...Better lookin' than the Captain's daughter Early in the mornin' *Of interesting note, I found out that an early remedy for animal bites was to bandage some of that animal's hair on the wound. Apparently this was supposed to help prevent infection.

Coastie04 Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 Other verses I've heard and enjoy: Make him scrub the deck with the Captain's toothbrush Make him walk barefoot on broken glass Poke his eye out with a red-hot (or rusty) cutlass Put him in a dress and call him Sally Put him in the bilge and make him drink it Take him to a pub and get him drunker Make him pay the crew's tab with his wages Coastie She was bigger and faster when under full sail With a gale on the beam and the seas o'er the rail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncan McGuyver Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 Well I came up with one new round this past weekend while at the Hamptons Blackbeard Festival. While partying away around the encampment fire late Sat. evening one of our local suttlers passed out drunk around the fire. After wrapping him in some avalable canvas we got behind him and sung my new lyrics: What shall we do with the drunken suttler, What shall we do with the drunken suttler, What shall we do with the drunken suttler, earlye in the morning. Stick him in a chair and rob his tent blind, Stick him in a chair and rob his tent blind, Stick him in a chair and rob his tent blind, earlye in the morning.
