What'll we do with a drunken sailor,
What'll we do with a drunken sailor,

We're leaving Sunday for a week long cruise with a bunch of our race buddies. 5 boats in all. I'll ask my wife to answer your question when we get back . My liver has been a bad boy and needs to be punished

I was hoping that some of you Skippers might have more verses. This song is wide open to make up more verses. The occasional Drunken Sailor might be OK as long as he's not a Drunken Skipper.
