Collection of Irish Song Lyrics
Rosin The Bow
I've traveled this wide world all over And now to another must 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 table A voice you will hear from below
Saying "Send down a hogshead of whiskey have a drink with old Rosin the Bow"
Have a drink with old Rosin the Bow"
Have a drink with old Rosin the Bow"
Saying "Send down a hogshead of whiskey
Have a drink with old Rosin the Bow"
Then get a half dozen stout fellows And line 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
Then 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 two noggins of Whiskey Put one at me head and me toe
With a diamond ring scratch upon them 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 them
The name of old Rosin the Bow
I've only this one consolation As out of this world I go
I know that the next generation Will resemble old Rosin the Bow
Will resemble old Rosin the Bow
Will resemble old Rosin the Bow
I know that the next generation
Will resemble old Rosin the Bow
I fear that old tyrant approaching that cruel remorseless old foe
I'll raise up a glass in his honor have a drink with old Rosin the Bow
Have a drink with old Rosin the Bow
Have a drink with old Rosin the Bow
And I lift up me glass in his honor
Have a drink with old Rosin the Bow
