THE EAGLES - Tequila Sunrise

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ws-YqUcD0LY

It's another tequila sunrise
Starin' slowly 'cross the sky, said goodbye
He was just a hired hand
Workin' on the dreams he planned to try
The days go by

Ev'ry night when the sun goes down
Just another lonely boy in town
And she's out runnin' 'round

She wasn't just another woman
And I couldn't keep from comin' on
It's been so long
Oh, and it's a hollow feelin' when
It comes down to dealin' friends
It never ends

Take another shot of courage
Wonder why the right words never come
You just get numb
It's another tequila sunrise,this old world
still looks the same,
Another frame, mm...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HiVunqkZ1RM

Whiskey river take my mind don't let her memory torture me
Whiskey river don't run dry you're all I've got take care of me
Whiskey river take my mind don't let her memory torture me
Whiskey river don't run dry you're all I've got take care of me
I'm drowning in a whiskey river bathin' my memoried mind in the wetness of its odor.
Feelin' the amber current flowin' from my mind, a warm and emtpy heart you left so cold.
Whiskey river take my mind don't let her memory torture me
Whiskey river don't run dry you're all I've got take care of me..
I'm drowning in a whiskey river bathin' my memoried mind in the wetness of its odor.
Feelin' the amber current flowin' from my mind, a warm and emtpy heart you left so cold.
Whiskey river take my mind don't let her memory torture me
Whiskey river don't run dry you're all I've got take care of me
Whiskey river take my mind don't let her memory torture me
Whiskey river don't run dry you're all I've got take care of me.

4. George Jones - White Lightning

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Onfce-UNmmE

Well in North Carolina, way back in the hills
Me and my old pappy had a hand in a still
We brewed white lightnin' 'til the sun went down
Then he'd fill him a jug and he'd pass it around
Mighty, mighty pleasin, pappy's corn squeezin'
Whshhhoooh . . . white lightnin'

Chorus:
Well the "G" men, "T" men, revenuers, too
Searchin' for the place where he made his brew
They were looking, tryin to book him,
But my pappy kept a-cookin'
Whshhhoooh . . . white lightnin'

Well I asked my old pappy why he called his brew
White lightnin' 'stead of mountain dew
I took a little sip and right away I knew
As my eyes bugged out and my face turned blue
Lightnin' started flashin' and thunder started crashin'
Shhhoooh . . . white lightnin'

Chorus:
Well the "G" men, "T" men, revenuers, too
Searchin' for the place where he made his brew
They were looking, tryin to book him,
but my pappy kept a-cookin'
Whshhhoooh . . . white lightnin'

Well a city slicker came and he said "I'm tough"
I think I wanna taste that powerful stuff
He took one g-g-glug and drank it right down
And I heard him a moaning as he hit the ground
Mighty, mighty pleasin, pappy's corn squeezin'
Whshhhoooh . . . white lightnin'

Chorus:
Well the "G" men, "T" men, revenuers, too
Searchin' for the place where he made his brew
They were looking, tryin to book him,
but my pappy kept a-cookin'
Whshhhoooh . . . white lightnin'...

5. I Like Beer

Tom T Hall

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8i5k4I1AOEI

I like beer. it makes me a jolly good fellow
I like beer. it helps me unwind and sometimes it makes me feel mellow (makes him feel mellow)
Whiskey's too rough, champagne costs too much, vodka puts my mouth in gear
This little refrain should help me explain as a matter of fact i like beer

6. John Anderson - Straight Tequila Night

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QyGU4nzhirI

If you really want to know, she comes here a lot.
She just loves to hear the music and dance.
K13 is her favorite song.
If you play it, you might have a chance.
Tonight she's only sippin' white wine.
She's friendly, and fun-lovin' most of the time.

But don't ask her on a straight tequila night.
She'll start thinkin' about him, then she's ready to fight.
Blames her broken heart on every man in sight,
On a straight tequila night.

Here's a glass of Chablis, some quarters and change:
Maybe you can turn her love life around.
Then she won't need the salt or the lime anymore,
To shoot that old memory down.
Just remember her heart's on the mend,
If you ever come back to see her again.

Don't ask her on a straight tequila night.
She'll start thinkin' about him, then she's ready to fight.
Blames her broken heart on every man in sight,
On a straight tequila night.

Instrumental break.

Don't ask her on a straight tequila night.
She'll start thinkin' about him, then she's ready to fight.
Blames her broken heart on every man in sight,
On a straight tequila night.

Don't ask her on a straight tequila night.
She'll start thinkin' about him, then she's ready to fight.
Blames her broken heart on every man in sight,
On a straight tequila night.

To fade:

Don't ask her on a straight tequila night.
She'll start thinkin' about him, then she's ready to fight.
Blames her broken heart on every man in sight,
On a straight tequila night.

7. "Margaritaville" by Jimmy Buffett

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFLjuj-l_fE

Nibblin on sponge cake
Watchin the sun bake
All of those tourists covered with oil
Strummin my six-string
On my front porch swing
Smell those shrimp they're beginnin to boil

Wastin away again in margaritaville
Searching for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
But I know it's nobodys fault

I don't know the reason
I stayed here all season
Nothin to show but this brand new tattoo
But it's a real beauty
A mexican cutie
How it got here I haven't a clue

Wastin away again in margaritaville
Searchin for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
Now I think
Hell, it could be my fault

I blew out my flip-flop
Stepped on a pop-top
Cut my heel had to cruise on back home
But there's booze in the blender
And soon it will render
That frozen concoction that helps me hang on

Wastin away again in margaritaville
Searching for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
But I know it's my own damn fault
Yes and some people claim that there's a woman to blame
And I know it's my own damn fault

8. "Whiskey Before Breakfast"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UsznTJ7YBc





Early one day the sun wouldn't shine
I was walking down the street not feeling too fine
I saw two old men with a bottle between 'em
And this was the song that I heard them singing

Lord preserve us and protect us,
We've been drinking whiskey 'fore breakfast

Well I stopped by the steps where they was sitting
And I couldn't believe how drunk they were getting
I said "old men, have you been drinking long?"
They said "just long enough to be singing this song"

Lord preserve us and protect us,
We've been drinking whiskey 'fore breakfast

Well they passed me the bottle and I took a little sip
And it felt so good I just couldn't quit
I drank some more and next thing I knew
There were three of us sitting there singing this tune

Lord preserve us and protect us,
We've been drinking whiskey 'fore breakfast

One by one everybody in the town
They heard our ruckus and they all came down
And pretty soon all the streets were ringing
With the sound of the whole town laughing and singing

[Tuesday Afternoon]

9. Toby Keith - Beer For My Horses (with Willie Nelson)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVcgyuN-ez4

Well a man come on the 6 o'clock news
Said somebody's been shot, somebody's been abused
Somebody blew up a building
Somebody stole a car
Somebody got away
Somebody didn't get too far yeah
They didn't get too far

Grandpappy told my pappy, back in my day, son
A man had to answer for the wicked that he done
Take all the rope in Texas
Find a tall oak tree, round up all of them bad boys
Hang them high in the street for all the people to see that

Justice is the one thing you should always find
You got to saddle up your boys
You got to draw a hard line
When the gun smoke settles we'll sing a victory tune
We'll all meet back at the local saloon
We'll raise up our glasses against evil forces
Singing whiskey for my men, beer for my horses

We got too many gangsters doing dirty deeds
We've got too much corruption, too much crime in the streets
It's time the long arm of the law put a few more in the ground
Send 'em all to their maker and he'll settle 'em down
You can bet he'll set 'em down 'cause

Let it roll, all night long

16. The Replacements - Here Comes A Regular

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKWjFa_36L8

Well a person can work up a mean mean thirst
after a hard day of nothin' much at all
Summer's passed, it's too late to cut the grass
There ain't much to rake anyway in the fall

And sometimes I just ain't in the mood
to take my place in back with the loudmouths
You're like a picture on the fridge that's never stocked with food
I used to live at home, now I stay at the house

And everybody wants to be special here
They call your name out loud and clear
Here comes a regular
Call out your name
Here comes a regular
Am I the only one here today?

Well a drinkin' buddy that's bound to another town
Once the police made you go away
And even if you're in the arms of someone's baby now
I'll take a great big whiskey to ya anyway

Everybody wants to be someone's here
Someone's gonna show up, never fear
'cause here comes a regular
Call out your name
Here comes a regular
Am I the only one who feels ashamed?

Kneeling alongside old Sad Eyes
He says opportunity knocks once then the door slams shut
All I know is I'm sick of everything that my money can buy
The fool who wastes his life, God rest his guts

First the lights, then the collar goes up, and the wind begins to blow
Turn your back on a pay-you-back, last call
First the glass, then the leaves that pass, then comes the snow
Ain't much to rake anyway in the fall

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QoX06ROZyu4

Come along, don't be afraid
Come along now, everything will be OK
Don't let it hurt, don't let it break
Just come along, I'll wash it all away

I own every ounce of pain
And I'll shoulder every ounce of blame

Love of my life
I've gone alcohol blind
Too many wrong roads
Drove me out of my mind
I did it one more time
For the love of my life
Down another wrong road
Drove me alcohol blind

I own every ounce of pain

Keep it up, until the end
Keep it up I'll be your best and then your only friend
I'll never hurt you, I'll never fault you
Just keep it up until the bitter end

I've seen blue skies turn into grey
Just like when dreams fade away
And I've seen my pride turn into shame
It all fades away

Something is bubbling
Behind my back
The bottle is ready to blow

Say it ain't so
Your drug is a heartbreaker
Say it ain't so
My love is a lifetaker

I can't confront you
I never could do
That which might hurt you
So try and be cool
When I say
This way is a waterslide away from me that takes you further every day (hey)
So be cool

Say it ain't so
Your drug is a heartbreaker
Say it ain't so
My love is a lifetaker

Dear Daddy,
I write you in spite of years of silence.
You've cleaned up, found Jesus,
things are good or so I hear.
This bottle of Steven's
awakens ancient feelings.
Like father, stepfather, the son is drowning in the flood

Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah.

Say it ain't so
Your drug is a heartbreaker
Say it ain't so
My love is a lifetaker

27. Howza bout an entire record, by a guy whose life was...

...the blues, and drinkin' like there was no tomorrow?

Top Jimmy & The Rhythm Pigs' Pigus Drunkus Maximus.

Here is Jimmy's and the Pigs' wikipedia entry: Top Jimmy & The Rhythm Pigs

Van Halen did the song Top Jimmy as a tribute to Jimmy.

He was our friend back in the day. Jimmy was at the first rehearsal ever of my punk band in late 1979, and the next day was on the Rodney Bingenheimer show on KROQ with Exene and John Doe of X. Jimmy interrupted Rodney at one point to promote our band, it was a cool moment for us as we listened to the radio that night, long ago.

Unfortunately, Jimmy literally drank himself to death.

On edit: Here is a great Top Jimmy tune up on youtube: Pigfoot Shuffle

[Lindsey]

29. The first song that came to mind was One Scoth, One Burbon

& One Beer. Then Roadhouse Blues.

30. On a related note, here is a Carlos Guitarlos tune...

Carlos was the Rhythm Pigs' most well known guitarist, I suppose.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDikXSUhArw

Royal Canadian blended,
the spicy aroma had mended me.
Matured for years and imported,
into my glass you poured it.
And you're the only reason that I remain unfrozen.
Suppose it stands to reason
that you would turn on me.

You're so solid,
You're so solid,
It burns inside of me, cos you're so solid,
It burns inside of me.

Wild Turkey's been chosen,
its caramel nose can smell me,
Aberlour, Jameson I love you,
the single malts come burning.
And you're the only reason that I remain unfrozen.
Suppose it stands to reason
that you would turn on me.

You're so solid,
You're so solid,
It burns inside of me, cos you're so solid,
It burns inside of me.

Royal Canadian blended,
the spicy aroma had mended me.
And you're the only reason that I remain unfrozen.
Suppose it stands to reason
that you would turn on me.

You're so solid,
You're so solid,
It burns inside of me, cause you're so solid,
It burns inside of me.

Well, show me the way
To the next whiskey bar

For if we don't find
The next whiskey bar

I tell you we must die
Oh, moon of Alabama
We now must say goodbye
We've lost our good old mama
And must have whiskey, oh, you know why
Oh, moon of Alabama
We now must say goodbye
We've lost our good old mama
And must have whiskey, oh, you know why
Well, show me the way
To the next little girl
Oh, don't ask why
Oh, don't ask why
Show me the way
To the next little girl
Oh, don't ask why
Oh, don't ask why
For if we don't find

http://www.folkinfo.org/songs/displaysong.php?songid=218

Come all you bold heroes attend to my song,
I'll sing in the praise of good brandy and rum,
Here's a clear crystal fountain over England shall roll,
Give to me the punch ladle, I'll fathom the bowl.

Chorus:
I'll fathom the bowl, I'll fathom the bowl.
Give to me the punch ladle, I'll fathom the bowl.


From France we get brandy, from Jamaica comes rum,
Sweet oranges and lemons from Portugal come,
Strong beer and good cider in England is sold,
Give to me the punch ladle, I'll fathom the bowl.

My wife she's a tyrant, she sits at her ease,
She scolds and she grumbles, she does as she please,
She may scold, she may grumble till she's black as the coal,
Give to me the punch ladle, I'll fathom the bowl.

My father he lies in the depths of the sea,
Cold rocks for his pillow - what matter to he!
Here's a clear crystal fountain over England shall roll,
Give to me the punch ladle, I'll fathom the bowl.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLlacxEhlRA

Drink at the Bar Nothing bar anything
But the bottom step of the ladder
It keeps gettin' higher and higher

chorus:
Dawn comes soon enough for the working class
It keeps getting sooner or later
This is the game that moves as you play
How does it feel to have your own bottle of booze
Behind the bar how does it feel
To play cards with the barmaids while they work
At Jocko's Rocket Ship and the One Eyed Jack
My Sin and The Lucky Star
A steady place to study and drink

bridge: best musical bridge ever, well my favorite

Day old days
Ancient bloody mary bastards in a hard-
Core blue collar bar
Here we sit
A shot and a beer
After another hard earned day

49. Toby Keith-I Love This Bar

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Fulz4ytZ54


We got winners,
We got losers,
Chain smokers and boozers,
We got yuppies,
We got bikers,
We got thirsty hitchhikers.
And the girls next door dress up like movie stars.
Mmmm, I love this bar.

We got cowboys,
We got truckers,
Broken-hearted fools and suckers,
We got hustlers,
We got fighters,
Early birds and all-nighters,
And the veterans talk about their battle scars.
Mmmm, I love this bar.

Chorus
I love this bar.
It's my kind of place.
Just walkin' through the front door puts a big smile on my face.
It ain't too far.
Come as you are.
Mmmm, I love this bar.

I've seen short skirts,
We got high techs
Blue collar boys and rednecks.
We got lovers, Lotsa lookers,
I've even seen dancin' girls and hookers.
And we like to drink our beer from a Mason jar.
Mmmm, I love this bar...Yes, I do.

Instrumental Interlude

I like my truck.
I like my girl friend.
I like to take her out to dinner.
I like a movie now and then.

But, I love this bar.
It's my kind of place.
Just twirlin' around on the dance floor puts a big smile on my face.
No cover charge.
Come as you are.
Mmmm, I love this bar.

Mmmm, I love this old bar.

50. Travis Tritt-Ten Feet Tall and Bulletproof

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHemwxHp1B4

I'm a full grown man
That's plain to see
But nowhere near as full grown
As I'd like to be
But I'll find a bar
And I'll have a few
Until I'm ten feet tall and bulletproof

Now, I'd hit the dance floor
Each time I'd have the chance
That is if these two left feet
Knew how to dance
'Bout the only time
I'm kicking up my shoes
Is when I'm ten feet tall and bulletproof

Well, I start to feel like Superman
Then I pick a fight
Only to find that my opponent's
Holding kryptonite
You'd think I'd learn my lesson
But, I'm still paying dues
Each time I drink and start to think
I'm ten feet tall and bulletproof

My woman left me
She called me a clown
Well, that's the general consensus
In this town
But I had it coming
Lord, to tell the truth
For acting ten feet tall and bulletproof

Well, I start to feel like Superman
Then I pick a fight
Only to find that my opponent's
Holding kryptonite
You'd think I'd learn my lesson
But, I'm still paying dues
Each time I drink and start to think
I'm ten feet tall and bulletproof

54. My first thought is always the California Drinking Song

(speaking start)

The steward went below. (Shhh!)
To light the captain’s lamp. (Shhh!)
The lamp it would not light. (Why not?)
Because the wick was damp. (Oh!)
The captain went below. (Shhh!)
To kick the steward’s… (Shhh!)
He said, “So fire it up you son-of-a-bitch,
The Golden Gate is passed!”

(singing start)

Oh, they had a little party down in Newport;
There was Harry, there was Mary, there was Grace.
Oh, they had a little party down in Newport,
And they had to carry Harry from the place.

Oh, they had to carry Harry to the ferry,
And the ferry carried Harry to the shore;
And the reason that they had to carry Harry to the ferry
Was that Harry couldn’t carry any more.

For California, for California,
The hills send back the cry,
We’re out to do or die,
For California, for California,
We’ll win the game or know the reason why.

And when the game is over, we will buy a keg of booze,
And drink to California ‘till we wobble in our shoes.

So drink, tra la la,
Drink, tra la la,
Drink, drank, drunk last night,
Drunk the night before;
Gonna get drunk tonight
Like I never got drunk before;
For when I’m drunk, I’m as happy as can be
For I am member of the Souse family.

Now the Souse family is the best family
That ever came over from old Germany.
There’s the Highland Dutch, and the Lowland Dutch,
The Rotterdam Dutch, and the Irish.

Sing glorious, victorious,
One keg of beer for the four of us.
Sing glory be to God that there are no more of us,
For one of us could drink it all alone. Damn near.
Here’s to the Irish, dead drunk.

The lucky stiffs, they had 4 fifths
and a sixpack too, of Irish brew
and there was grandma swingin on the outhouse door
without her nightie and grandpa yellin
more more more, for she was nude.

It's Saturday Night

It's Saturday night, I'm feeling on song
I think I'm alright, I know I'm all wrong
The drink that I had three hours ago
Has been joined by fourteen others
In a steady flow


So lot me walk straight, don't let me feel pain
I'm gonna scratch cars, with my keys again
cos when I go home and fall on my bed
If it doesn't leave my stomach, It'll split my head.

60. Too Drunk To Fuck

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJ7pgElCPXE


Went to a party
I danced all night
I drank 16 beers
And I started up a fight

But now I am jaded
You're out of luck
I'm rolling down the stairs
Too drunk to fuck

Too drunk to fuck
Too drunk to fuck
Too drunk, to fuck
I'm too drunk, too drunk, too drunk
To fuck

I like your stories
I love your gun
Shooting out truck tires
Sounds like loads and loads of fun

But in my room
Wish you were dead
You ball like the baby
In Eraserhead

Too drunk to fuck
Too drunk to fuck
Too drunk, to fuck
It's all I need right now
Too drunk to fuck

Too drunk to fuck
Too drunk to fuck
Too drunk, to fuck
I'm sick soft gooey and cold
Too drunk to fuck

I'm about to drop
My head's a mess
The only salvation is
I'll never see you again

You give me head
It makes it worse
Take out your fuckin' retainer
Put it in your purse

I'm too drunk to fuck
You're to drunk to fuck
Too drunk to fuck
It's all I need right now Oh baby
I'm melting like an ice cream bar
Oh baby

And now I got diarrhea
Too drunk to fuck
Yeah, Yeah
Yeah, Yeah
Yeah, Yeah
Oooohhh

61. I Got Friends In Low Places (lyrics)

I am not a country boy, but I love this one

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPQvEy74md8
I Got Friends In Low Places lyrics


Blame it all on my roots,
I showed up in boots,
And ruined your black tie affair.

The last one to know,
The last one to show,
I was the last one you tought you'd see there.

And I saw a surprise,
And the fear in his eyes,
When I took his glass of champange,

I toasted you,
Said honey we may be through,
But you'll never hear me complain,

(Chorus)
'Cause I got friends in low places,
Where the Whiskey drowns,
And the Beer chases my blues away,
But I'll be okay,
Now I'm not big on social graces,
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis,
Oh I got friends,
In low places.

I guess I was wrong I just don't belong
but then I've been there before, everything's alright
I'll just say goodnight and I'll show myself to the door
Hey I didn't mean to cause a big scene just give me an
hour and then, I'll be as high as that Ivory Tower and you'll
never know,

Chorus

I guess I was wrong I just don't belong
but then I've been there before, everythings alright
I'll just say goodnight and I'll show myself to the door
Hey I didn't mean to cause a big scene just wait 'til I finish this glass
Then, sweet little lady I'll head back to the bar (haha) and you can kiss my ass

64. Homer Simpsons' drinking song "D'oh!" (sung to the tune of "Do-Re-Mi" from The Sound of Music)

Dough, the stuff that buys my beer
Ray, the guy behind the bar
Me, the one that drinks the beer
Fa, the distance to the john
So I think I'll have a beer
La, la la la la
Tea, no thanks I'm drinking beer
And that brings us back to d'oh!

70. Whiskey in the Jar

As I was going over the far famed Kerry mountains
I met with captain Farrell and his money he was counting.
I first produced my pistol, and then produced my rapier.
Said stand and deliver, for I am a bold deceiver,

musha ring dumma do damma da
whack for the daddy 'ol
whack for the daddy 'ol
there's whiskey in the jar

I counted out his money, and it made a pretty penny.
I put it in my pocket and I took it home to Jenny.
She said and she swore, that she never would deceive me,
but the devil take the women, for they never can be easy

I went into my chamber, all for to take a slumber,
I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure it was no wonder.
But Jenny took my charges and she filled them up with water,
Then sent for captain Farrel to be ready for the slaughter.

It was early in the morning, as I rose up for travel,
The guards were all around me and likewise captain Farrel.
I first produced my pistol, for she stole away my rapier,
But I couldn't shoot the water so a prisoner I was taken.

If anyone can aid me, it's my brother in the army,
If I can find his station down in Cork or in Killarney.
And if he'll come and save me, we'll go roving near Kilkenny,
And I swear he'll treat me better than me darling sportling Jenny

Now some men take delight in the drinking and the roving,
But others take delight in the gambling and the smoking.
But I take delight in the juice of the barley,
And courting pretty fair maids in the morning bright and early

71. Somebody Put Something in My Drink - The Ramones

Somebody
Somebody Put Something In My Drink
Somebody

Another night out on the street
Stopping for my usual seat
Oh, bartender, please

Tanqueray and tonic's my favorite drink
I don't like anything colored pink
That just stinks...it's not for me

It feels like somebody put something
Somebody put something in my drink
Somebody put something
Somebody put something

Blurred vision and dirty thoughts
Feel (out of place), very distraught
Feel something coming on

Kick the jukebox, slam the floor
Drink, drink, drink, drink some more
I can't think
Hey! What's in this drink?

It feels like somebody put something
Somebody put something in my drink
Somebody put something
Somebody put something in my drink
Somebody put something
Somebody put something in my drink
Somebody put something...in my drink...in my drink...in my drink...in my drink

So you think it's funny
A college prank
Goin' insane for something to drink
Feel a little dry

Oh, I couldn't care what you think of me
Cause somebody put something in my drink
I can't think
Hey! Give me a drink

It feels like somebody put something
Somebody put something in my drink

Somebody put something
Somebody put something in my drink

76. I Likes a Drop of Good Beer

I LIKES A DROP OF GOOD BEER.

Come one and all, both great and small,
With voices loud and clear,
And let us sing, bless Billy the King,
Who bated the tax upon beer.

Chorus.
For I likes a drop of good beer,
I likes a drop of good beer.
And damn his eyes, whoever he tries
To rob a poor man of his beer.

Let Ministers shape the Duty on Cape,
And cause Port wine to be dear,
As long as they keep the bread and meat cheap,
And give us a drop of good beer.

My wife and I, feel always dry,
At market on Saturday night,
Then a noggin of beer, I never need fear,
For my wife always says it is right.

In harvest field, there’s nothing can yield,
The labouring man such good cheer,
To reap and sow, and make barley grow,
And to give them a skinfull of beer.

The farmer’s board will plenty afford,
Let it come from far, or from near,
And at harvest home, the jug will foam,
If he gives his men plenty of beer.

Long may Queen Victoria reign,
And be to her subjects most dear,
And we’ll wallop her foes, wherever we goes,
If she gives us a skinful of beer.


(BTW, 'Billy the King' was William IV, Queen Victoria's uncle and predecessor on the throne. He was a direct ancestor of our current ruler - no, not Queen Lizzie who is descended from Victoria, but our REAL current ruler David Cameron. And far from 'bating the tax upon beer', he has put 20% VAT - sales tax as you'd say- on absolutely everything!)

77. All For Me Grog

(A 19th-century British sailors' song)

It's all for me grog, me jolly, jolly grog
All for my beer and tobacco
Well, I spent all me tin with the ladies drinkin' gin
Far across the Western Ocean I must wander

I'm sick in the head and I haven't been to bed
Since first I came ashore with me plunder
I've seen centipedes and snakes and me head is full of aches
And I have to take a path for way out yonder

And it's all for me grog. me jolly, jolly grog
All for my beer and tobacco
Well, I spent all me tin with the ladies drinkin' gin
Far across the Western Ocean I must wander

Where are me boots, me noggin', noggin' boots
They're all sold for beer and tobacco
See the soles they were thin and the uppers were lettin' in
And the heels were lookin' out for better weather

And it's all for me grog, me jolly, jolly grog
All for my beer and tobacco
Well, I spent all me tin with the ladies drinkin' gin
Far across the Western Ocean I must wander

Where is me shirt, me noggin', noggin' shirt
It's all sold for beer and tobacco
You see the sleeves were all worn out and the collar been torn about
And the tail was lookin' out for better weather

And it's all for me grog ,me jolly, jolly grog
All for my beer and tobacco
Well, I spent all me tin with the ladies drinkin' gin
Far across the Western Ocean I must wander
