Thread Name: Help: Meaning of a few Drunken Sailor verses
Subject: RE: Help: Meaning of a few Drunken Sailor verses
What about the verse, "Hang him on the leeward 'til he brings his dinner up"?

Or "Have you seen the Old Man's daughter?" To be followed by, "She is like an orang-utan, sir!"

I gave my junior shanty group this verse: "Put him in detention that'll teach him!"

Like the old shantymen, you can add verses of your own.
