What Shall We Do With a Drunken Sailor?

Joseph is playing an arrangement of this song on the piano, so we've listened to a bunch of different renditions on Youtube.  This is the best.  I remember learning this song as a 4th grader, getting ready for our Pilgrim trip.  It was an awesome school trip-- we spent weeks preparing for our particular "crew" that we were assigned to (I was a boatswain), and then spent an afternoon, night, and morning on "The Pilgrim," a full-size replica of an 1820-something ship.  It was an "immersion" style experience-- all of us were "sailors," treated as such, with jobs to do, 2-hour watches during the night, the whole bit.  It was awesome.
