TOM BROWN
(as recorded by Eliza Carthy)

Well the king will take the queen and the queen will take the knave
And since we're in good company more liquor let us have

Here's to you Tom Brown
And to you with all my soul
And to you with all my heart
And with you I'll take a quart
With you I'll drink a drop or two
Before that we do part, here's to you Tom Brown
Here's to you Tom Brown

Well the knave will take the ten and the ten will take the nine
And since we're in good company now let us have more wine

Here's to you Tom Brown
And to you with all my soul
And to you with all my heart
And with you I'll take a quart
With you I'll drink a drop or two
Before that we do part, here's to you Tom Brown
Here's to you Tom Brown

Now the nine will take the eight and the eight will take the seven
And since we're in good company we'll drink till past eleven

Here's to you Tom Brown
And to you with all my soul
And to you with all my heart
And with you I'll take a quart
With you I'll drink a drop or two
Before that we do part, here's to you Tom Brown
Here's to you Tom Brown

Well the seven will take the six and the six will take the five

And since we're in good company as sure as I'm alive

Here's to you Tom Brown
And to you with all my soul
And to you with all my heart
And with you I'll take a quart
With you I'll drink a drop or two
Before that we do part, here's to you Tom Brown
Here's to you Tom Brown

Well the five will take the four but the four will take the three
And since we're in good company you'll sit beside of me

Here's to you Tom Brown
And to you with all my soul
And to you with all my heart
And with you I'll take a quart
With you I'll drink a drop or two
Before that we do part, here's to you Tom Brown
Here's to you Tom Brown

Now the three will take the two but the ace will take them all

And since we're in good company we won't go home at all

Here's to you Tom Brown
And to you with all my soul
And to you with all my heart
And with you I'll take a quart
With you I'll drink a drop or two
Before that we do part, here's to you Tom Brown
Here's to you Tom Brown
