A Drink For Each Song 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 fieldsTraditional - A Drink For Each Song - http://motolyrics.com/traditional/a-drink-for-each-song-lyrics.html
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 stee
