Drunken Sailor (7C 213) David Cox

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER

Four little ladies promenade once around that ring
Come on back, swing your man
Earl-eye in the morning
Join up hands, make your ring, circle to the left and then
Why don't you allemande left
And you weave around the ring now
What will we do with a drunken sailor?
What will we do with a drunken sailor?
What will we do with a drunken sailor?
Swing and promenade now
*Toss him in the long boat 'till he's sober
Toss him in the long boat 'till he's sober
Toss him in the long boat 'till he's sober
Earl-eye in the morning

FIGURE

Heads separate 'round one and make a line
Do a right & left thru, turn your girl
Earl-eye in the morning
Pass the ocean now, girls trade, swing thru
Boys run right, bend the line you do
Reverse your flutterwheel, sweep 1/4 more
Do a half-sashay, swing and promenade
What will we do with a drunken sailor?
What will we do with a drunken sailor?
What will we do with a drunken sailor?
Earl-eye in the morning

TAG

Allemande your corner
Come back and then you swing
Hey-ho and up she rises
Earl-eye in the morning
