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 Beau.
|: To welcome old Rosin the Beau. :|
And I know that good quarters are waiting
To welcome old Rosin the Beau.
When I'm dead and laid out on the counter
A voice you will hear from below,
Saying "Send down a hogshead of whisky
To drink with old Rosin the Beau.
|: To drink with old Rosin the Beau". :|
Saying "Send down a hogshead of whisky
To drink with old Rosin the Beau".
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 Beau
|: To the memory of Rosin the Beau :|
Let them drink out of half gallon bottles
To the memory of Rosin the Beau
Then get a 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 Beau.
|: And in it put Rosin the Beau. :|
And dig a great hole in the meadow
And in it put Rosin the Beau.
Then get ye a couple of bottles.
Put one at me head and me toe.
With a diamond ring scratch upon 'em
The name of old Rosin the Beau.
|: The name of old Rosin the Beau. :|
With a diamond ring scratch upon 'em
The name of old Rosin the Beau.
I've only this one consolation
As out of this world I go
I know that the next generation
Will resemble old Rosin the Beau
|: Will resemble old Rosin the Beau :|
I know that the next generation
Will resemble 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 Beau.
|: Take a drink with old Rosin the Beau. :|
And I lift up me glass in his honour.
Take a drink with old Rosin the Beau.
