Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Malt's Come Down
I have had this for over 60 years

There’s never………   a drunkard………
In all………   of the town………
But well………   he knows…………
The mault’s……… come down………
                
Mault’s……… come down……… mault’s……… come down………
From……… an old angel………   to……… a French crown………
                                                                                                                                
And there’s never……… a maiden………
In all……… of the town………
That sleeps……… all alone………
Now the mault’s……… come down………

The gentleman leaves………
His porter brown………
& drinks with his ploughboy
Now the mault’s……… come down………

Cows in the meadow………
Balling are found………
There’s none there……… to milk
Now the mault’s……… come down………

Many the clergymen………
Worried……… are found………
There’s none to……… the mass………
Now the mault’s……… come down………

And many……… the drunkard………
Throughout……… the town………
Thankful……… is now……………
The mault’s……… come down…………

My grannie thought it degenerate & banned my grandad from singing it.
Stunted my growth I reckon !
