Rosin the Beau
words and music Traditional
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. (x2)
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". (x2)
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 (x2)
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. (x2)
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. (x2)
With a diamond ring scratch upon 'em
The name of 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. (x2)
And I lift up me glass in his honour.
Take a drink with old Rosin the Beau.
