Holly Near - Drunken Sailor lyrics

What shall we do with the drunken sailor Early in the morning Row the long boat to a landing The drinking life is too demanding Tough love will leave you standing Are you sick of being sick and tired* Being late and being fired First one drunk and last one hired The kids all love you and adore you But by evening they are looking for you Rowing a lifeboat along beside you The wind is up and the ocean rages Disease will take you down in stages The k**er whale will eat through cages Loving this much has got me grieving I can't stand by and watch you leaving But no more lies, no more deceiving The truth comes in the morning I'm loving the one this storm is taking I'm on the shore, my heart is breaking Watching a drowning in the making It's gonna take me down—by morning Living in guilt and dying in shame The drunken sailor is not to blame But when we asked for help millions came And it was a brand new morning
