Hallo all , I was playing at concert last night and we had the song
drunken sailor and we sang " way hey up she rises "
but there was a Englishman who came to us after the concert and
said that this are usally sanged like " hif ho " up she rises .


So whats the Origins of this song , how old is he , I would like take this song again in a most likely Origins way someday .

is there some where we could get older words of it ?

All the best Skarpi Iceland.
