Thread Name: Me jolly, jolly grog
Subject: Me jolly, jolly grog
Hi mudcatters. I had a delightful time on St. Patrick's Day when I drank enough whiskey to sing along with one of the band members who stayed after to share his musical talents with us. My 19 year old son came along as designated driver, and I was so proud of him for singing along too. His favorite was a song that went, "All for me grog, me jolly, jolly grog. It's all for me beer and tobacco. For I spent all me tin, with the lassies drinkin' gin, and (something something something) I must wander." There was a verse about a threadbare shirt or coat, and "me nobby nobby boots." I found two jolly jolly grog songs in the database, (Oh For Me Grog; and Here's to the Grog) but both are different versions than the one we sang along with at the K of C. Does anybody have any other versions of the grog song? I'm happy to see you're all still keeping up the tradition of civil discourse about painfully controversial subjects. (war, prejudice and anarchy) Can I add another thread about alcohol abuse to the mix?
