MICHAEL BLANN'S BEER (Hariet Blann) If you are sick, 'twill make you well Put you in condition The man who will drink Blann's Good Beer Has need of no physician Blann it is the beer for me A pint of it's so handy It's as fine as any wine And strong as any brandy 'Twill ease your pain, 'twill warm your brain Drive out melancholy The man who will drink Blann's Good Beer Is always fat and jolly The meager French their thirst would quench Fine good it would do them Give them a year with Blann's Good Beer Their country would not know them The foreigners may praise their wine 'Tis only to deceive us Give them a year with Blann's Good Beer I'm sure they'd never leave us All you that have not tasted it yet I'd have you set about it All you with pence and common sense Would never do without it Michael Blann published a book of old songs in the 1880s, including this Written by John Hollamby, published in 1827 in "The Unlettered Muse" As Gooch's Strong Beer. Blann added the chorus. Also attrributed to Harriet Blann tune: Yankee Doodle @drink filename[ BLANNDRN BR |
