DEarl-aye in the Emmorning?
EmWay, hey and up she rises
DPatent blocks o diff'rent sizes, or (Way, hey and up she rises)
EmWay, hey and up she rises
DEarl-aye in the Emmorning
EmSling him in the long boat till he's sober,
DKeep him there and make 'im bale 'er.
EmPull out the plug and wet him all over,
DTake 'im and shake 'im, try an' wake 'im.
EmTrice him up in a runnin' bowline.
DGive 'im a taste of the bosun's rope-end.
EmGive 'im a dose of salt and water.
DStick on 'is back a mustard plaster.
EmShave his belly with a rusty razor.
DSend him up the crow's nest till he falls down,
EmTie him to the taffrail when she's yardarm under,
DPut him in the scuppers with a hose-pipe on him.
EmSoak 'im in oil till he sprouts flippers.
DPut him in the guard room till he's sober.
EmPut him in bed with the captain's daughter*).
DTake the Baby and call it Bo'sun.
EmTurn him over and drive him windward.
DPut him in the scuffs until the horse bites on him.
EmHeave him by the leg and with a rung console him.
DThat's what we'll do with the drunken sailor.
