Anyone out there know a definitive version of 'what shall we do with the drunken sailor'?
I'm trying to compile as large a set as possible of lyrics for this song for some Belgian friends. I've had a quick look on some of the lyric sites, but can only get to about seven verses. Any others gratefully received - thanks!
