Rosin the Bow
Author Unknown
Song can be found on Clancy Brothers Album "Come Fill Your Glass With Us"
I've travelled this wide world over,
And down to another I go.
And I know that good quarters are waiting
To welcome old Rosin the Bow.
Chorus:
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."
(Chorus)
Well, take a half-dozen stout fellows,
And line them up all in a row,
And drink out of half-gallon bottles,
To the mem'ry of Rosin the Bow.
(Chorus)
Then take those 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.
(Chorus)
Then get you two bottles of whiskey,
Put one at me head and me toe.
With a diamond ring scratch upon 'em.
The name of bold Rosin the Bow.
(Chorus)
I hear that old tyrant approachin'
That cruel, remoreseless old foe,
And I lift up me glass in his honor,
Take a drink with old Rosin the Bow.
