The next to come in had a banjo
Who's playing forced the drinkers to go
Who's playing forced the drinkers to go
To make a jovial crew
He picked in C and then in G
And emptied the bar as quick as could be
When Jones' ale was new, me boys
When Jones' ale was new.

The next to come in had a guitar
But this poor guy...he was no star
But this poor guy he was no star
To make a jovial crew
His strumming was loud and very flat
And one and all got sick of that
When Jones'ale was new me boys
When Jones'ale was new.

The next to come in had a bodrain
And no one seemed to be a fan
And no one seemed to be a fan
To make a jovial crew
He asked them all if he might play
But they replied " SOME OTHER DAY "
when Jones' ale was new me boys
When Jones' ale was new.

The last to come in was a singer
And he ,too, was a ringer
And he ,too, was a ringer
To make a jovial crew
He said " I'LL SING YOU JONES' ALE "
The punters then all turned quite pale
When Jones' ale was new me boys
When Jones' ale was new .


Hope this helps a bit.
