about

This song is sometimes referred to as Rosin The Beau.

lyrics

I've traveled all over this world
And now to another I go
And I know that good quarters are waiting
To welcome old Rosin the Bow

To welcome old Rosin the Bow
To welcome old Rosin the Bow
And I know that good quarters are waiting
To welcome old Rosin the Bow

When I'm dead and laid out on the counter,
A voice you will hear from below
Sayin', "Send down a hogshead of whiskey
To drink with old Rosin the Bow!"

To drink with old Rosin the Bow
To drink with old Rosin the Bow
Sayin', "Send down a hogshead of whiskey
To drink with old Rosin the Bow!"

Then get a half dozen stout fellas
And stack 'em all up in a row
Let 'em drink out of half-gallon bottles
To the memory of Rosin the Bow

To the memory of Rosin the Bow
To the memory of Rosin the Bow
Let 'em drink out of half-gallon bottles
To the memory of Rosin the Bow

Then get this half dozen stout fellas
And let them all stagger and go
And dig a great hole in the meadow
And in it put Rosin the Bow

And in it put Rosin the Bow
And in it put Rosin the Bow
And dig a great hole in the meadow
And in it put Rosin the Bow

Then get ye a couple of bottles,
Put one at me head and me toe
With a diamond ring scratch upon 'em
The name of old Rosin the Bow

The name of old Rosin the Bow
The name of old Rosin the Bow
With a diamond ring scratch upon 'em
The name of old Rosin the Bow

I fear that old tyrant approaching,
That cruel, remorseless old Foe
And I lift up me glass in his honour:
Take a drink with old Rosin the Bow!

Take a drink with old Rosin the Bow
Take a drink with old Rosin the Bow
And I lift up me glass in his honour:
Take a drink with old Rosin the Bow!

The London Celtic Punks London, UK

For drunx, celtic-punx and vagabonds!
"There's always been a strong argument that folk music is the original rebel music. The music of the people and historically through that music the people challenged the land owners, challenged the state and wrote the stories that recounted these acts; Therefore it could be argued that folk was in fact the first real punk rock" ... more
