Subject: RE: Origins: What Shall We Do With a Drunken Sailor
After I posted that I found Gibb mentioned Roberts, but without the lyric, in the Advent thread back in 2013. Missed it. Here's a "clean" one for the offensive lyric protestors:

““Hurrah! hurrah! up she's rising,––
Stamp and go, boys! up she's rising,––
Round with a will! and up she's rising,
                        Early in the morning.

What shall us do with a lubberly sailor?—
What shall us do with a lubberly sailor?—
Put him in the long-boat and make him bale her,
                        Early in the morning.

Hurrah! hurrah! up she's rising.”––
                        &c. &c. ad infinitum.
                                                Anchor Song.
