Britisches Seemannslied (Sea Shanty), 1891, Autor unbekannt
Hintergrundinformationen
Das Lied ist auch unter dem Titel 'What Shall We Do with the Drunken Sailor?' bekannt. Ursprünglich wurde die Melodie dem traditionellen irischen Tanz- und Marschlied 'Oró Sé do Bheatha ’Bhaile' entnommen. Publiziert wurde der Text erstmals 1891, wobei die Melodie bereits 1824-1825 in Cole’s Selection of Favourite Cotillions in Baltimore herausgegeben wurde. Eine andere Version wurde von Richard Runciman Terry geschrieben und im Liederbuch The Shanty Book, Part I, Sailor Shanties abgedruckt.
