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...
