- Here is an instrumental fiddle version of the sea shanty, "Drunken Sailor." This tune is a fun and simple tune to play, and it has a really catchy melody. =) I hope you enjoy this version of the tune! ^_^

Sea shanties were sailor work songs and often had a repetative melody. Versions of this tune have been incorporated into several orchestral arrangements, and the first time I played it was part of an arrangement of folk dances for an orchestra. Since then, I've heard people sing the lyrics often in bars and pubs, and it's a tune that definitely gets an audience excited. It seems like it is one of the few tunes that many people can recognize - even those who do not listen to traditional music very often. It has appeared across multiple production and video games, including "Spongebob Squarepants" and "Assassin's Creed"
There are many lyric verses to this tune, but the lyrics most people tend to sing along to are these:
What will we do with the drunken sailor?
What will we do with the drunken sailor?
What will we do with the drunken sailor?
Early in the morning!
Way, hey and up she rises,
Way, hey and up she rises,
Way, hey and up she rises,
Early, in the morning!
I personally think some of the lyrics get a bit crazy about things to do with a drunk sailor, but it's still a fun tune. It kind of makes me wonder what it was actually like to be a sailor on a boat for months on end during the past few centuries. Technology has really changed everything a lot over the years, and I think it's neat to think about.
I thought I'd try to add more interesting things to this video by creating time lapses of the sun rising and setting, as well as scenery views. Hopefully those things make the video a little more interesting to watch. ^_^ I've also noticed that ever since I started to learn Cello, my violin right bow hand has become so confused. It looks like I'm struggling to keep a violin bow hold in this video, (and trying to morph into a cello bow hold) so I think I need to put some focus into that! =S
Thank you for watching, and I hope you have a good rest of the week! =)

Greetings from Dublin, Ireland. I like her pairing of the main tune "Drunken Sailor" with "Drowsy Maggie" I think the 2 tunes compliment each other which shows the talent/professionalism, of the performer. A lovely arrangement.
There are some instrumental arrangements that marry well with some songs. I've performed a 4 verse rendition of "Star of the County Down" & between the 3rd & 4th verse the instrumental break would be, "The Fermoy Lasses" or the lively song "South Australia" I'd pair with say, "John Ryan's Polka". Just 2 examples. What I love about Traditional Irish music/song is there's no formality or uniform way, a certain piece should be performed. It's strictly left to the discretion of the performer & there's always room for "compromise " re how a certain tune or song is performed. You'd seldom hear the same piece played exactly the same way twice which is why the tunes are so enduring. Legendary Dubliners fiddle player John Sheehan said. He doesn't know how many times he's played his trademark tune "The Marino Waltz" but he'll always perform it a little differently every time, just to keep it fresh, as he put it.
There's also a bit of "Tam Lin".
Greetings from Newfoundland Canada.
Capturing the pure joy of playing the violin, time after time....thanks again.
Thank you so much for your nice comment! =) Thanks for listening. ^_^
Katy Adelson Keep it up
Well said

I have to laugh.. back in 1963 this was sung in 3rd grade elementary school
He'd already married to the captain's daughter
Earleye in the morning
He got drunk at his own wedding
Kissed his bride and pissed his bedding
Earleye in the morning!
@reymohammed7040 "the captains daughter" was also another name for a whip the captain held to keep his crew from forming a mutiny
1 Person was so drunk, they accidentally disliked the video!
they shaved his belly with a rusty razor, dat sea-rats ! :-D
Mind Of Foolio - Comedy & Animation 2 drunkards have done it now how could you not like this if the fiddle is in your soul at all this speaks to you, I know it does me!!!! I'm Irish as fuck!!!!!!!!!

Ah Katy girl ... what a treasure you are! I've been drunken and a sailor, but neither experience was as pleasurable as watching your videos! Keep up the excellent work.
"Ah Katy girl ... what a treasure you are! I've been drunken and a sailor, but neither experience was as pleasurable" you had me in the first half not gonna lie.

I have loved this song since I was a child. You play it beautifully. Just the right amount of bounce.
Thank you! =) I've loved this song for a long time, too. There's something about it that is really catchy and fun! Thank you for listening. ^_^

Same I was introduced to it by my dad and that memory stuck forever.

Good morning 🎵
Possibly one of the best renditions I have ever heard.
That smile gets me every time 😍

Ahoy! I'm inspired to pick the dusty fiddle up again. WONDERFUL!!
philip davies sir, why is your poor fiddle dusty?
I don't know why this is in my recommendation but... this is amazing. This gave me urge to play AC: Black Flag again.
I love the addition of Drowsy Maggie and Tamlin's reel into this piece. It was very well done!
I expected to go in the comment section and everyone was going to be talking about how it is Spongebob. Surprisingly it's not, good job by the way.
OMG I knew this sounded familiar but I couldn't place it
Love this from spain from my grandfather they came from ireland and scandinavia
Wishing that there was a matrix program to downlaod fiddling skills directly to my brains.
XD
its called practice, practice, and more practice! good luck :)
SAAAME.
Love how you put a Irish reel and Glasgow reel in the mix of the sea shanty...Very creative and outstanding !
After watching this did anyone else have the urge to play Assassins Creed Black Flags???
World Of Warships.
@@zekerundo7952 no
NotMyChannel aye!
NotMyChannel made me want to play sea of thieves lol
Came here from black flag
I've just been in a pirate mood lately, this was nice.
Nice rendition of one of my old faves! When I taught English in Japan, I used to sometimes bring my guitar to class, and I'd play the song, then I'd have the students contribute verses about "What Shall We Do With The Drunken Student" (it was college, so they were allowed to drink ;-) ). We had a lot of fun with that.
stunning stuff my friend :)
Ok little creepy
Very
The music is nice and your act is so beautiful!
Happy St. Patrick's Day to everyone!! 🍀🍀🍀
Your smile makes me going. Thanks a lot. And moreover, I'm addicted with this! Never feel bored with this. Can hear this for unlimited times.
Of course the most accurate title would be: drunken sailor, drowsy maggie and tam lin sea shanty remix /arrangement loll really good key changes and variations katy well done yo and helLlo from Canada ~ Roarr!
your smile when you play is priceless
Thanks Katy! Something nice to play my bodhran to.
Love it so much!!!
Thank you!
Thank you! I'm glad that you like it! ^_^
Katy Adelson im going to get a violin,your very good at this lass.
Yes I think so too ;-)
Beegreen33 I think they should feature lol
Such a lovely smile in a beautiful lady and great fiddler! Best to you.
I hear it in an endless loop while a make a video about pirates :D
When I write this song is my go-to
I have down loaded your "album" from Amazon. Thank you for the great fiddle music. I know it is sort of trite, but, how about the Irish Washer Woman or GarryOwen. Stuart Bonning Maryland
Your smile made my day...
I have a feeling a lot of things make your day
bir gemi kaptan olarak söyleyebilirim ki bu melodiye aşığım özellikle kemanla çalınınca
Violins rule!! ♞
D'artagnan personally I think Violas are better but you do you
+Jesse Games Ah! I Googled! Violas have a "lower and deeper sound." I will look for said music. Maybe violas rule. ♞
+Jesse Games Nope, violins rule. But violas are pretty cool.

Jesse Games I think Violins are better, but okay.
They do rule.
Hello Katy, I like your song too much and I want to use in a game. Is it possible? And how much I need to pay for that?
this melody is so timeless! beautiful!
SPONGEBOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Question: When I see people play professionally, I often hear verses that I've never seen on my sheet music. Are these verses that are more advanced, and thus often excluded from most sheet music, or made up by the player of the piece?
Magic_Zach when people play fiddle tunes or shanties like this, they often don’t even use sheet music, and if they do, it’s usually just a guideline. So yeah, they do make it up. It’s something that’s kinda hard to get used to if you’re going from ridged classical to fiddle but it makes it lots of fun
This is, as far as I can tell, Drunken Sailor played together with the 'Drowsy Maggie' and 'Tam Lin' reels, as well as some improvisation on all three. Sheet music can only provide the basic version and it's up to the experienced fiddler to marry them together like this. Hope this helps!
Thank you for that seafarin' tune-it be just what I needed to face the work day!
I can hear crowd stepping on the wood floor ship and dancing with rum ....ahoy
I heard this and INSTANTLY started singing it!! This was my favourite song back in Athlone. God how I want to go back home to the Emerald Isle..
Katy, so cute with catching smile, delightful bouncy fiddle, and stunning scenery... any one alone is worthy of 5 stars, but Katy always blesses our souls with all three in each video😊!
Wow really loved this , I’m learning this and play it very ordinary and slow lol , I love your different rhythms etc with this it makes it so much more alive , love it. 👍
I love that you put a few other trads into the mix! :D Some of my favourites too. :)
Thank you Rik! They are definitely some of my favorites, too! =)
Katy Adelson Pray tell, what are the other songs?
glasgow reel
me too
@@XxAnTexX111 the Glasgow reel.
Got Lindsey Stirling vibes. (that's very good!)
Only the Irish make such good music
First State Bottle Diggers It's an older English Sea Shanty...
Wrong
But irish music is cool😀
The shanty was sung to accompany certain work tasks aboard Royal Navy sailing ships, especially those that required a bright walking pace. It is believed to originate in the early 19th century or before, during a period when ships' crews, especially those of military vessels, were large enough to permit hauling a rope whilst simply marching along the deck. With the advent of merchant packet and clipper ships and their smaller crews, which required different working methods, use of the shanty appears to have declined or shifted to other, minor tasks.
Here is another English Sea Shanty from the Edinburgh Tattoo...Whirl is an ensign with the Royal Marines....It starts 7 minutes & 10 seconds in from the super drummers...
Wow! You are amazing Katy! Greetings from Bahrain.
Well that is what comes out if an old soul plays an old song.... just perfect. Dear Miss Adelson :-) thanks for sharin your passion, your soul and your music with us!
It's beautiful at normal.
But in 0.75x... omg
There are moments when it sounds as if there are two violins playing, Excellent.
I simply love the way you enjoy playing the beautiful music that comes naturaly from your soul.
so, much energy and passion in one simple song! 😊
I love how you smile throughout the vide I including the end. I love it.
I like how you switched to Tam Lin at 1:22
The Amazing Katy , Hypnotic and Magic , thanks for this awesome art .
Everyone listening to the song: Ah so nice
Me listening at 1.25x:
Of the dozens of variants of Drunken Sailor I've heard, I think this is my favorite.
wooah ! You have the bests songs ever in your videos ! Congrats Ms. Adelson :D
Thank you, Jeff! I'm glad that you like the music. =) Thank you for listening. ^_^
people that give this a thumbs down don't now what real music is
Beautiful! I love this tune, and you did a great job!
Thank you so much! =) This tune is a lot of fun! ^_^

I have absolutely NO CLUE as to why I love this song so much
maybe my scottish roots? *shrugs* who knows but I flipping love it~ Bagpipes too!!!!
I love this music ! It makes me happy 😄, it is a pleasure to see and hear you, thank you so much !
Amazing video. Thanks. Congrats on 1 million views by the way. Keep it up.
I know this is old but i like it.
I love this music very much!!! Thank you!
Arrrr matey
Your violin sounds amazing and yet so warm! May I ask about the maker of your violin? I am in the market to upgrade from my student violin (which I do not like so much) to a new violin that I can grow to love. Do you have any recommendations?
Phantom Stealth I’m not her but I have an Eastman Strings violin and it sounds great (in my opinion)
This is the best Irish fiddle music I've ever listened too. So, thumbs up from me!
pleaseeee!!! sheet music!! i just love it!!!
Pleassee the sheet!!! i want too
AGREEPLEASE GIVE US SHEET MUSIC FOR ALL OF THE SONGS YOU'VE ALL PLAYED PLEASE
You will find a lot of music sheets on The Session. Definitely those three, which are:
- The Drunken Sailor
- Drowsy Maggie
- Tam Lynn
Thank you! =) I'll try to work on writing out the sheet music. I'll reply to comments for another hour, but then I'll start writing out the sheet music. ^_^ @Arthur is right about The Session -- it's a great resource for traditional fiddle tunes written as sheet music. They even have MIDIs available so you can hear how the tune is supposed to go. =)
I've written out the sheet music here:

I hope you have fun practicing! =)
this gets my IRISH BLOOD UP FOR DANCING LOL.
That double note playing, holding the low note - while striking the high keys. That is some wizardry that I hope I can one day be able to play on a fiddle. Good job! Fantastic
Ok so I accidentally disliked it on accident, but I went back to this video because how can you not? And then I saw that I disliked it and went into extreme panic mode and clicked the "like" button so fast
awesome YOUR ADORABLE MY DEAR LADY!
Can I use this music in a video I'm working on?
This arrangement is in the creative commons, so you can use it for your projects.
I am speechless she is brilliant and very pleasant to watch and listen to
I'm in love with this melody! I'm actually part Irish, although I have more of an Italian/American background in my household.
But I prefer the Irish music more, shh..hey I gotta learn my history somehow lol. I have a huge number of other backgrounds, as well. I'm just a mutt, as you could say?
0:35 Is that the tune from Morrison's Jig, but played as if it was a reel?
No.
The Gravel Walks reel.
My big respect for you
Heard this tune for the first time ever while watching the Sherlock Holmes episode "The Secret Weapon" many years ago. Every time I watch the episode, and the scene of Basil Rathbone entering a bar with the lyrics being sung, it strikes me as a very amusing and cheerful interlude.
I can see that happening
This a really live mix - Drunken Sailor, Drowsy Maggie, and Tam Lin all tied together!
Wow!, You go girl!
Did you celebrate over the ONE MILLION hits ? -A few others would mark this as a milestone !
You are correct on the tunes.
Never thought i would fall so hard for instrumental music! I've become your biggest fan! Please keep playing music like this.... it makes the world a better place.
I want that played at my memorial service.
Drunken Sailor, Drowsy Maggy, and Tam Lin brought together so wonderfully!
Thanks for the names! I know the tunes but am useless at remembering the names!
Went fishing with my buddies one time at a friends house. He has a small pound with a decent sized John Boat. I decided to do more drinking then fishing that day. Ended up in my buddies boat rowing around in circle singing Drunken Sailor. Good times it was.
Red skye at nite
Sailors delight
Red skye at morning
Sailors take warning
I've loved this tune since the first time I heard it, and I love how you've incorporated Drowsy Maggie and Tam Lin reels (if I'm not mistaken, the latter being my favourite reel ever) in between verses. Thank you for this brilliant video!
I see what you did there...you added a little of tamlin's reel didn't you?
I had to add a tiny bit of Tam Lin! ^_^
Beautiful song and lady! I was looking for a GOOD music for my recital, and I founded it in your channel!
This tune was used in a radio commercial for DelMonte tuna in the late 1950s, maybe 1960. Some of the words they put to the melody were something like "back to sea where we won't go hungry, back to sea where we won't go hungry, back to sea where we won't go hungry, tuna from DelMonte."
Ooh... I like this music.
I feel like dance!
beautiful song merry Christmas to everyone 2016
Mikey Thomas merry Christmas to you
Ryan Chandlee Thank you very much :)
can you please do a tutorial on roundtable rival by Lindsay sterling? I really want to learn it ! BTW you have amazing vids i subbed!
Great playing! The part beginning at 1:23 is so darn cool. Love it! :)
I come back once a week to just replay this bit
Sounds a little like a variation of another Irish reel called "drowsy Maggie"
Hey Katy!
I just saw your videos today. Really love your music and videos!
Hope you dont stop making music!
Wish you the best
You have a great talent my dear keep at it. Its beautiful to hear
One of the Best versions ever !!!
