three jolly coachmen (stereo concert version) lyrics
[intro]
right now, for those of you who are taking notes
the way we got our start was by playing in beer gardens, similar to this, near the colleges we went to
went to a lot of colleges at our fathers’ request
and the request of deans, health officials, people like that
well, you know the type

anyway, one night we weren’t playing at all
we were just sort of just sitting there sipping
when this ivy league person walked in which was pretty inspirational because he had all the latest khakis and tweeds and ropes and canvases on
you know, like the cologne he used was so manly
it came in hairy bottles which is abstract, uh
but he needed it for more reasons than one
anyway, he brought with him … you’re right she needed it

anyway, he brought with him into this place a lute guitar
which has about nine strings, but he didn’t play it
you know, sort of vibrated sympathetically stuff he was doing
yeah, these back-easty type tunes like, uh
“the bonnie wee crawling duke” or
“lady windermere’s operations”
things that they sing around the league all the time
well, he was creating quite a bit of inattention
until he came to this next number
when, by golly, these people began to perk up, you know
and when he was through the response was heart-warming
especially to us singers
because the whole place stood up as one man and walked out
(that’s sort of weird)
(close enough for folk music)
you’ll love it, too, son
(stunning)

[verse 1]
one, two, and three jolly coachmen sat at an english tavern
three jolly coachmen sat at an english tavern
and they decided
and they decided
and they decided
to have another flagon

[verse 2]
landlord, fill the flowing bowl until it doth run over
landlord, fill the flowing bowl until it doth run over
for tonight we’ll merr-i be
for tonight we’ll merr-i be
for tonight we’ll merr-i be
tomorrow we’ll be sober
what?

[verse 3]
here’s to the man who drinks dark ale and goes to bed quite mellow
here’s to the man who drinks dark ale and goes to bed quite mellow
he lives as he ought to live
lives as he ought to live
lives as he ought to live
and dies a jolly good fellow
ha! ha! ha!
ooh!

[verse 4]
here’s to the man who drinks water pure and goes to bed quite sober
here’s to the man who drinks water pure and goes to bed quite sober
he falls as the leaves do fall
falls as the leaves do fall
falls as the leaves do fall
he’ll die before october
ho! ho! ho!
heh-heh-heh
heh-heh-heh-heh, ugh

[verse 5]
here’s to the maid who steals a kiss and runs to tell her mother
here’s to the maid who steals a kiss and runs to tell her mother
she’s a foolish, foolish thing
she’s a foolish, foolish thing
she’s a foolish, foolish thing
for she’ll not get another
pity

[verse 6]
here’s to the maid who steals a kiss and stays to steal another
here’s to the maid who steals a kiss and stays to steal another
she’s a boon to all mankind
she’s a boon to all mankind
she’s a boon to all mankind
for she’ll soon be a mother
[outro]
thank you
