I have been fascinated by a version of this song done by a group called Stone Ring. It seems to be more complete than the version in the Digital Tradition "Drunk Last Night," and incorporates much of the lines listed above. A version on their web site went as follows: GODDAM DUTCH (Very Lovely Traditional Folksong) Drunk last night, drunk the night before, gonna get drunk tonight like I've never been drunk before. For when I'm drunk, I'm happy as can be, for I am a member of the Souse family. Oh the Souse family is the best family, that ever came over from ole Germany. You got your highland Dutch and your lowland Dutch, your Rotterdam Dutch and your Goddam Dutch. Cho: Singin' glorious, glorious, one keg of beer for the four of us. Singin' glory be to god that there are no more of us, for the four of us could drink it all alone. All alone, all alone, the four of us could drink it all alone. Singin glory be to god that their are no more of us, for the four of us could drink it all alone. Well what's that smell in the evenin' breeze, the goddam Dutch are makin' Limburger cheese Cho: When god made the Irish he didn't make much, but we're a helluva lot better than the goddam Dutch. Cho: You may talk about your brookies and your northern pike, but in Holland they got to fish for the carp from a dike. Cho: When you're listenin' to us Standing Stones, we hope that you feel you're never alone. For the cost it ain't that dear, and some of your friends are here, and the Irish music's flowin' like the beer. Just like the beer, like the beer, oh the Irish music's flowin' like the beer. Singin glory be to god that there are no more of us, for the four of us could drink it all alone. All alone, all alone, the four of us could drink it all alone. Singin' glory be to god that there are no more of us, for the four of us could drink it all alone.
