Drunken Fighter
Padraig Ruad O'Maolagain
(to the tune of Drunken Sailor)
What shall we do with a drunken fighter
What shall we do with a drunken fighter
What shall we do with a drunken fighter
Early in the morning
REFRAIN:
Way-hey, up he rises
Way-hey, up he rises
Way-hey, up he rises
Early in the morning
Put him on the list field in full armor...
REFRAIN
Lock him in a privy till he's sober...
REFRAIN
Tie him to the wall with a running bowline..
REFRAIN
Shave his belly with a rusty broadsword...
REFRAIN
Put him in a tent with the Baron's daughter...
REFRAIN
You should see the Baron's daughter...
REFRAIN
Way-hey, up she rises
Way-hey, up she rises
Way-hey, up she rises
Early in the morning
That's what we do with a drunken fighter...
