The Dandy Highwaymen’s Land Shanties lyrics archive: What Do You Do with a Drunk Highwayman?
What do you do with a drunk highwayman?
What do you do with a drunk highwayman?
What do you do with a drunk highwayman
Early (earl-eye) in the morning
Away s/he must go riding
Away s/he must go riding
Away s/he must go riding
Early (earl-eye) in the morning
Tie him to a tree until he’s sober
Dress her as a man and threaten her lover
Cut his periwig with a rusty razor
Drag her behind a stolen carriage
Send him out riding in the moonlight
Serve her cake and make her eat it
Sit him on an ant hill ‘til he cries Adam
Anyone who sends us an email explaining all of these references (after listening to the album, of course) and getting at least four right will be made an honorary Dandy Highwayman for life.
