and e Origins: It Was Only An Old Beer Bottle (25) RE: Origins: It Was Only An Old Beer Bottle 25 Mar 24


The Beer Bottle
(Tune: Sing a Song of Cities)

'Twas only an old beer bottle, floating on the foam.
'Twas only an old beer bottle, a thousand miles from home.
Inside was a piece of paper, with these words written on;
"Whoever finds this bottle, finds the beer all gone,
The beer all gone, the beer all gone,
Whoever finds this bottle, finds the beer all gone."

The New Song Fest. pg 116. Copyright 1948, 1955. Thirteenth Printing, May, 1963. The tune used, "Sing a Song of Cities", is on page 80.
