about

Drinking. Good.
Bad mouthing your wife. Not so much.
When they're really fun to sing, sometimes we make compromises with our values to keep our ancestors' songs alive. - Miguel.

lyrics

Come all me bold heroes pay an ear to my song
I’ll sing in the praise of good brandy and rum
There’s a clear crystal fountain near England doth roll
Bring me the punch ladle, I’ll fathom the bowl

I’ll fathom the bowl
I’ll fathom the bowl
Bring me the punch ladle
I’ll fathom the bowl

From France we do get brandy from Jamaica comes run
Sweet oranges and lemons from Portugal come
But beer and strong cider are England’s control
Bring me the punch ladle, I’ll fathom the bowl

My wife she do come in while I sits at my ease
She scolds and she grumbles and does as she please
My wife she’s a devil as black as the coal
Bring me the punch ladle, I’ll fathom the bowl

Oh my father he do lay in the depths of the sea
With no stone at his head but what matter to he?
There’s a clear crystal fountain near him it doth roll
Bring me the punch ladle, I’ll fathom the bowl
