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, oh

To welcome old 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

Sayin', Send down a hogshead of whiskey

To drink with old Rosin the Bow

To drink with old Rosin the Bow, oh

To drink with old Rosin the Bow

Sayin', Send down a hogshead of whiskey

To drink with old Rosin the Bow

Then get a half-dozen stout fellas

And stack them all up in a row

Let 'em drink outta half-gallon bottles

To the memory of Rosin the Bow

To the memory of Rosin the Bow, oh

To the memory of Rosin the Bow

Let 'em drink outta half-gallon bottles

To the memory of Rosin the Bow

Then get this half-dozen stout fellas

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, oh

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 scratch upon 'em

The name of old Rosin the Bow

The name of old Rosin the Bow, oh

The name of old Rosin the Bow

With a diamond ring scratch upon 'em

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, oh

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
