| Lyrics: | Come all you jolly fellows and join us in song,
Let thunderous harmony sound. For if men can still sing then the worlds not so wrong, And the rafters will ring in a round. But a man cannot sing if hes troubled at heart, As melodies over you steel, So bring us a drink and well each sing our part, And our voices with clarity peel. Chorus: Bring us more ale here and without fail here. Well go on singing till each song is sung, Pass round the jugs now; fill up your mugs now, We shall not stop now that we have begun. And if you have a song sir as we go along sir, Youre next to sing but youre never to think, Wed let you sing dry sir thats a foul lie sir, A drink for each song and a song for each drink. 2. Well the first is a song of the great raging sea Let thunderous harmony sound And the far foreign lands that our sailors do see And the rafters will ring in a round And the next is a song of green meadows and fields As melodies over you steel Of the farmer and the ploughboy and the earths bounteous yield And our voices with clarity peel. Chorus: 3. Well well sing of the orchards and the hopfields in Kent Let thunderous harmony sound And of hard times weve known when our moneys all spent And the rafters will ring in a round And the high Sussex Downs with their sheep and their corn As melodies over you steel And of lassies weve courted on a fine summers morn And our voices with clarity peel. Chorus: 4. Oh well sing of the wars and the victories won Let thunderous harmony sound And of foes we have vanquished with powder and gun And the rafters will ring in a round But well sing of the widows and the sons they have lost As melodies over you steel For theres no battle fought without counting the cost And our voices with clarity peel. Chorus: 5. Well now to conclude and to finish our tale Let thunderous harmony sound Well sing one last chorus and then sup some ale And the rafters will ring in a round So some other fellow may now take the floor As melodies over you steel And sing us a song may we hear many more And our voices with clarity peel. Chorus: Chorus: |
