Drunken Sailor

What shall we do with the drunken sailor
 Early in the morning
 Row the long boat to a landing
 The drinking life is too demanding
 Tough love will leave you standing
 Are you sick of being sick and tired*
 Being late and being fired
 First one drunk and last one hired
 The kids all love you and adore you
 But by evening they are looking for you
 Rowing a lifeboat along beside you
 The wind is up and the ocean rages
 Disease will take you down in stages
 The killer whale will eat through cages
 Loving this much has got me grieving
 I can't stand by and watch you leaving
 But no more lies, no more deceiving
 The truth comes in the morning
 I'm loving the one this storm is taking
 I'm on the shore, my heart is breaking
 Watching a drowning in the making
 It's gonna take me down—by morning
 Living in guilt and dying in shame
 The drunken sailor is not to blame
 But when we asked for help millions came
 And it was a brand new morning
