The Dubliners - Róisin the Bow lyrics

I've traveled all over this world 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". Then 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. 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 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 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 And I lift up me gla** in his honor 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 gla** in his honor Take a drink with old Rosin the Bow.
