Rosin The Beau Lyrics

Rosin The Beau lyrics

I´ve traveled all over this world 

 And now to another I go 

 And I know that good quarters are waiting 

 For to welcome old Rosin the Beau 

  

 To welcome old Rosin the Beau 

 To welcome old Rosin the Beau 

 And I know that good quarters are waiting for 

 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 whiskey 

 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 

  

 Then get this 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 

  

 Then get ye a couple of bottles 

 Put one at me head and me toe 

 With a diamond ring scratch upon them 

 The name of old Rosin the Beau 

  

 I´ve only this one consolation 

 As out of this world I go 

 I know that the next generation 

 Will resemble old Rosin the Beau 

  

 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 Beau
