A Drink For Each Song

Description

1. Come all you jolly fellows and join in a song
(Let thunderous harmony sound!)
For if man can still sing, then the world’s not so wrong
(And the rafters will ring in a round!)
But a man cannot sing if he’s troubled at heart
(As melodies over you steal!)
So bring us a drink and we’ll each sing our part!
(And our voices with clarity peal!)

Refrain:
So, bring us more ale here, and without fail here
We’ll go on singing till each song is sung
Pass ’round the jug now, fill up our mug now,
We shall not stop now that we have begun.
And if you have a song, sir, as we go along, sir,
You’re next to sing, though you’re never to think
We’d let you sing dry, sir, that’s a foul lie, sir,
A drink for each song and a song for each drink.
