Rosin the Bow - The Clancy Brothers/Tommy Makem

I've travelled this world

All over 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

Saying 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

Saying send down a hogshead of whiskey

To drink with old rosin the bow

And get a half dozen stout fellows

And stack them all up in a row

Let them 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 them drink out of half gallon bottles

To the memory of rosin the bow

Get this half dozen stout fellows

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 them

The name of old Rosin the Beau

The name of old Rosin the Beau

The name of old Rosin the Beau

With a diamond ring scratch upon them

The name of old Rosin the Beau

I feel 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
