GEarl-aye in the Ammorning?
AmWay, hey and up she rises
GPatent blocks o diff'rent sizes, or (Way, hey and up she rises)
AmWay, hey and up she rises
GEarl-aye in the Ammorning
AmSling him in the long boat till he's sober,
GKeep him there and make 'im bale 'er.
AmPull out the plug and wet him all over,
GTake 'im and shake 'im, try an' wake 'im.
AmTrice him up in a runnin' bowline.
GGive 'im a taste of the bosun's rope-end.
AmGive 'im a dose of salt and water.
GStick on 'is back a mustard plaster.
AmShave his belly with a rusty razor.
GSend him up the crow's nest till he falls down,
AmTie him to the taffrail when she's yardarm under,
GPut him in the scuppers with a hose-pipe on him.
AmSoak 'im in oil till he sprouts flippers.
GPut him in the guard room till he's sober.
AmPut him in bed with the captain's daughter*).
GTake the Baby and call it Bo'sun.
AmTurn him over and drive him windward.
GPut him in the scuffs until the horse bites on him.
AmHeave him by the leg and with a rung console him.
GThat's what we'll do with the drunken sailor.
