It would be wonderful to get both music (sheet or ABC) and lyrics for the whole album. I've got the CD and only brief descriptions of most songs. I'd pay for a songbook. Many songs have already been mentioned on this thread but here is another. A POT OF PORTER OH! Lyrics: When to Old England I came home, Fal lala, fala lala lie What joy to see the tankard foam Fal lala, fala lala lie When treading London's well-known ground, If e'er I feel my spirits tire, I haul my sail and look up around In search of Whitbread's best entire. I spy the name of Calvert, Of Curtis, Cox ad Co.; I give a cheer and bawl for't, "A pot of Porter, ho!" When to Old England I come home, What joy to see the tankard foam! With heart so light and frolic high, I drink it off to liberty! Where wine or water can be found Fal lala, fala lala lie! I've travell'd far the world around, Fal lala, fala lala lie! Again I hope before I die, Of England's can the taste to try; For many a league I'd go about To take a draught of Gifford's stout; I spy the name of Truman, Of Maddox, Meux, and Co; The sight makes me a new man,— "A pot of porter, ho!" When to Old England i come home, What joy to see the tankard foam! With heart so light and frolic high, I drink it off to liberty.
