Rosin the Bow Lyrics

I've travelled all over this world.
And now to another I go.
I know that good quarters are waiting.
To welcome old Rosin the Bow.
To welcome old Rosin the Bow.
To welcome old Rosin the Bow.
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 will be heard from below.

Saying, "Send down a hogshead 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 hogshead of whiskey.
To drink with old Rosin the Bow."
Then, get me some bottles of porter.
And stand them all up in a row.
With a diamond ring scratch 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 scratch upon them.
The name of old Rosin the Bow.
Then gather half-dozen stout fellows.
And let them all stagger and go.
Dig a bloody great hole in the meadow.
And in it, toss Rosin the Bow.
And in it, toss Rosin the Bow.
And in it, toss Rosin the Bow.
Dig a bloody great hole in the meadow.
And in it, toss Rosin the Bow.
Well, I've only this one consolation.
As out of this whole world I go.
I know that the next generation.
Will resemble old Rosin the Bow.
Will resemble old Rosin the Bow.
Will resemble old Rosin the Bow.
I know that the next generation.
Will resemble old Rosin the Bow...
