Go to Lord Gyric of Otershaghe's Bawdy Song Book Lord Gyric of Otershaghe's Bawdy Song Book
Landlord Fill the Flowing Bowl
by   tune:

Chorus
Landlord fill the flowing bowl until it doth run over
Landlord fill the flowing bowl until it doth run over
For tonight we'll be merry, merry be
For tonight we'll be merry, merry be
Tomorrow we'll be sober.

Here's to the man who drinks dark ale and goes to bed right mellow
Here's to the man who drinks dark ale and goes to bed right mellow
He lives as he ought to live
He lives as he ought to live
And he dies a damn good fellow.

Chorus

Here's to the man drinks water pure and goes to bed right sober
Here's to the man drinks water pure and goes to bed right sober
He falls as the leaves do fall
He falls as the leaves do fall
He'll be dead by next October.

Chorus

Here's to the lass who steals a kiss and runs to tell her mother
Here's to the lass who steals a kiss and runs to tell her mother
She's a foolish, foolish thing
She's a foolish, foolish thing
For she'll never get another.

Chorus

Here's to the lass who steals a kiss and stays to get another
Here's to the lass who steals a kiss and stays to get another
She's a boon to all mankind
She's a boon to all mankind
And soon she'll be a mother.

Chorus
