Hmm... I've got to find the link for it... *searches through bookmarks* Dave Barry wrote a column on it, apparently.
*remembers self* I mean "Arrrrgggh! May your dogs get scurvy so you have to feed them lemons! Avast those turtles!"

Traditional
Although nowadays very well known, this shanty was only used in ships with very large crews, when it was possible to grasp a halyard and stamp away up the deck, the sail steadily ascending the mast, with all hands roaring out the song in unison. It is one of the oldest known Anglo-Saxon shanties, having been sung in the Indiamen of the Honorable John Company. It appears with music in Incidents of a Whaling Voyage(1839) by Olmstead. The tune is from a traditional Irish air.
It was one of the very few work songs permitted in the smaller ships of the "King's Navee." In merchant ships of later years, with small crews, its usage was confined to the job of going "'bout ship" when the braces would be manned and stamped away with, or when hoisting light sails hand over hand; in this latter chore only the chorus would be sung.
'Way, hay, an' up she ris-es! Pat-ent blocks o' diff'rent siz-es,
'Way, hay, an' up she ris-es! Ear-lye in the morn-in'!
What shall we do wi' a drunk-en sail-or? What shall we do wi' a drunk-en sail-or?
What shall we do wi' a drunk-en sail-or? Ear-lye in the morn-in'!

Drunken sailor is like my favorite song of all time. A couple of verses a local rish group play around here are:
"Put him in the bed with Margaret Thatcher,
Put him in the bed with Margaret Thatcher,
Put him in the bed with Margaret Thatcher, erlye in the mornin".
"Oh by God what an ugly women, Oh by God what an ugly women,
Oh by God what an ugly women, erlye in the mornin".
I had to paste the whole page in; Ilove that end verse!:biglaugh:
