Back in 2010 Virginia Tam referenced Old King Beer. Recently found out that its a Bill Caddick song on his 1995 Winter with flowers CD.

OLD KING BEER by Bill Caddick

Cho.
I love my king, He knows it well
He knows I love him dear
There’s not a king that’s ever been
As good as old King Beer

Well, Old King Beer, He came to me
When I could barely stand
He said try a drop of me home brewed ale
And you’ll always be my man
I took a drop, From his brown jug
And I loved him straight away
we served each other loyally
Ever since that lucky day.          chorus
Oh I love my king, He knows it well
He knows I love him dear
There’s not a king that’s ever been
As good as old King Beer

I went to school , For half me life
King Beer he came along
I learned to order up me pint
In twenty different tongues
I learnt a gallon Has eight pints
And a quart has only two
So order up a gallon for me
And a quart pot down for you.          chorus
Oh I love my king, He knows it well
He knows I love him dear
There’s not a king that’s ever been
As good as old King Beer

Now wine is fine and Brandy’s grand
And I love me whiskey too
But give me a drop of you know what
I’ll know just what to do
there’s honey in that amber ale
And I love each little bee
But best of all, the pints I love
Are the ones you buy for me.         chorus
Oh I love my king, He knows it well
He knows I love him dear
There’s not a king that’s ever been
As good as old King Beer

So take the money, Take the car
Take the wife and family
You can take me wits for all the good
They’ve ever done for me
Now I’d like to stop And sing a song
I’ve got some good friends here
Then take me down to the nearest pub
For it’s time to meet King Beer.         Chorus
Oh I love my king, He knows it well
He knows I love him dear
There’s not a king that’s ever been
As good as old King Beer
