Concerning, "What would you do with a drunken sailor" The melodies are meant to be the same. "What would you do with a drunken sailor" was written to the melody of the Irish rebel song, also it actually only; at least originally, contained 3 verses outside of the chorus. However more verses would be added to the song by sailor depending on the time a task took to complete. It was usually sung at the raising of the sails or the anchor and was one of the only songs allowed to be sung on Irish shipping vessels and oddly enough in the Royal Navy.
