Rosin the Bow

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 of 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 hog's head 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 hog's head 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 these 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 stratch 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 stratch upon them

The name of old Rosin the Bow

I fear that old tyrant approaching,

That cruel, remorseless old foe,

And I lift up me glass 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 glass in his honor

Take a drink with old Rosin the Bow.
