MinRat Posted January 24, 2004 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 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...
Serendipity Posted January 24, 2004 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.
Trapper Posted January 24, 2004 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
Desert Pyrate Posted January 24, 2004 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.
MinRat Posted January 25, 2004 Author 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.
Connecticut Ben Posted January 25, 2004 Posted January 25, 2004 http://www.geocities.com/Yosemite/Trails/2...2625/song1.html There are no limits to the human imagination. How about a Guiness world record for longest continuous performance, without repeated verses, of the Drunken Sailor? I have witnessed 45 minutes ... any verified greater times? Cheers, CT Ben
Wartooth Posted January 25, 2004 Posted January 25, 2004 Hmmm...Tattoo him with a picture of the cast of "Fraiser"... You are a cruel, cruel woman. Remind me to never cross ye. Wartooth

Cheers, CT Ben With enough thought we could make a new record. give him command of an empty barrel. drop him off with the nearest trawler. I love being on leave.
Desert Pyrate Posted January 25, 2004 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.
Coastie04 Posted January 26, 2004 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. She was bigger and faster when under full sail With a gale on the beam and the seas o'er the rail
Coastie04 Posted January 26, 2004 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
Capt. Morgan Posted March 19, 2004 Posted March 19, 2004 Hmm... here's one me merry marauders came up with one cold, wet morning while we were singing and waiting for helos to pick us up (Marines singing Navy songs? We're a bunch o' pirates, we are)... "Toss 'im on the beach with the Ma-rines..."

John_Young Posted March 22, 2004 Posted March 22, 2004 I thought Drunken Sailor had a lot of verses... "Yo Ho, all together hoist the colours high Heave Ho, theives and beggers Never shall we die..." "I don't care who ye say you are lad, if ye say 'savvy' one more time, I'll bury this cutlass in that thick skull of yers!" -Captain John Young - PILF
Janette Morgan Posted March 27, 2004 Posted March 27, 2004 Get a jar o' mustard and make him eat it Get a jar o' mustard and make him eat it Get a jar o' mustard and make him eat it 'Till he comes back 'round Tell him, no more brownies 'till he's sober Tell him, no more brownies 'till he's sober Tell him, no more brownies 'till he's sober And drop 'em overboard Take him and drop him through the Stargate Take him and drop him through the Stargate Take him and drop him through the Stargate Pretend you didn't know Tie him to the plank and let him dangle Tie him to the plank and let him dangle Tie him to the plank and let him dangle Let him watch the sharks How be these, mates? Do I get the job?
Katie Nameless Posted April 15, 2004 Posted April 15, 2004 QUOTE (Ida Dunnitt @ Jan 23 2004, 10:51 PM) Hmmm... Tattoo him with a picture of the cast of "Fraiser"... Where did THAT come from?

Saskia Posted May 5, 2004 Posted May 5, 2004 Dress him up in pink pyjamas Give him brown water and tell him it's rum Steal his pants and hoist them up the main mast Sing a song about him for half an hour Bash him on the head with a ten-pound mallet Slap him round the face with a slimy mullet Use him for bait when you're fishing for shark Flick him on the forehead and call him a loser That's all I can think of right now. But it could just go on and on couldn't it? this is a fun game!
Capt. Morgan Posted May 5, 2004 Posted May 5, 2004 tie him up, and drink his rum slap him with a codfish and call him stinky (no offense, Stynky!) put him on tv and call him Scupper watch him draw and call him Nigel give him a cool ship an' call him Cap'n Gary hang him from the gallows, call him Hawkyns drop her in a chopper and call her Ryann give him flowers and kitties and call him Sjor, er, Sjoder, er Sea Rover! paint her pink and call her Paisly toss her in the hot tub an' call her Merry give him a Guinness and call him Conner watch her write stories an' call her Quill (poison type...)

Indigojack Posted May 5, 2004 Posted May 5, 2004 After the Exxon Valdez ran aground the new verse was: Make him captain of an Exxon tanker Together we shall sail the sea, best friends we'll always be. But, if we should ever disagree, the hell with you, and hurray for me.

Duncan McGuyver Posted June 7, 2004 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.
