Q-

You may be thinking of the version Oscar Brand had on his classic recording of drinking songs which has a different structure than what we've been posting above:

The landlord's daughter she came in,
We kissed her ruby lips with gin,
When Johnson's Ale was new, me boys,
When Johnson's Ale was new!

She said she was good as the best of us,
And she drank more ale then the rest of us,
When Johnson's Ale was new, me boys,
When Johnson's Ale was new!

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
