Poxy Boggards - Bring Us a Barrel lyrics

A man, when he's drinking takes ale from a bin But finds there too little good stuff there within Four and a half is it's measure in full Too small for a sup, not enough for a pull So bring us a barrel and set it up right Bring us a barrel to last out the night Bring us a barrel no matter how high We'll drink it up lads we'll drink it dry The poor little Firkin, nine gallons in all The ale it is good but the size is too small For lads who are drinkers like you, and like I That Firkin small barrel too swiftly runs dry So bring us a barrel and set it up right Bring us a barrel to last out the night Bring us a barrel no matter how high We'll drink it up lads we'll drink it dry So roll out the Puncheon and bring out the bu*t There's a best measure before us to put Our cups will go round and good ale it will flow And we'll be content, for an hour or so So bring us a barrel and set it up right Bring us a barrel to last out the night Bring us a barrel no matter how high We'll drink it up lads we'll drink it dry The fullcup and Toss pot and Headdy go down The Hoggshead and Firkin and Cask will go round The Tun and the Barrel and someday there'll be Enough good brown ale to fill up the sea So bring us a barrel and set it up right Bring us a barrel to last out the night Bring us a barrel no matter how high We'll drink it up lads we'll drink it dry When drinking good ale it is best by the Tun But never enough can be had in just one So pray all you drinkers who often run dry GOD willing our ale it will fall from the sky So bring us a barrel and set it up right Bring us a barrel to last out the night Bring us a barrel no matter how high We'll drink it up lads we'll drink it dry When I am dieing and on my d**hs bed Lay by my bed side a fine full Hoggshead Swift down below I must go when I die Then me and Old Nick, we can both drink it dry! So bring us a barrel and set it up right Bring us a barrel to last out the night Bring us a barrel no matter how high Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh! Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh! We'll drink it up lads we'll drink it dry!
