Drunken Seamstress

Padraig Ruad O’Maolagain
Tune:  Drunken Sailor
 

What shall we do with a drunken seamstress
What shall we do with a drunken seamstress
What shall we do with a drunken seamstress
Early in the morning

Chorus:
Way-Hey and up she rises
Way-Hey and up she rises
Way-Hey and up she rises
Early in the morning

Lock her in the privy ‘til she’s sober…

Chorus

Sew her in her tent with a running lockstitch…

Chorus

Make her go to Court in a half-sewn tunic…

Chorus

Shave her belly with a rusty scissors…

Chorus

Put her in a tent with a sweaty fighter…

Chorus

You should smell that sweaty fighter…

Chorus

That’s what we do with a drunken seamstress…
