Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Doll Thy Ale (Graham and Eileen Pratt) From: Dave Bryant Date: 06 May 03 - 06:00 AM You can find The Black Fox in the DT. Unfortunately the tune has been somewhat changed - it's not as modal as the original. |

Subject: Lyr/Tune Add: DOLL THY ALE (Graham & Eileen Pratt) From: GUEST,MCP Date: 06 May 03 - 06:54 PM Here as promised Doll Thy Ale. The notes say: "A tongue-in-cheek catalogue of the various evils which befall the regular imbiber of the deadly brew! Nevertheless we are advised in the song to 'doll our ale' (make it warm and spicy), thus making it even more inviting. These lyrics first appeared in print in the late fifteenth century and the tune was recently composed by Paul Dickinson" Mick DOLL THY ALE (Words:15C, Tune: Paul Dickinson) Ale makes many a man to stick all at a briar Ale makes many a man to lie in the mire Ale makes many a man to sleep by the fire And doll, doll, doll thy ale Doll, doll thy ale. Ale makes many a man to stumble at a stone Ale makes many a man to crawl drunken home Ale makes many a man to break his bones And doll, doll, doll thy ale Doll, doll thy ale. Ale makes many a man to cause his family strife Ale makes many a man to draw upon his knife Ale makes many a man to beat his wife And doll, doll, doll thy ale Doll, doll thy ale. Ale makes many a man to stumble at the blocks Ale makes many a man to bump his head with knocks Ale makes many a man to suffer in the stocks. And doll, doll, doll thy ale Doll, doll thy ale. Ale makes many a man to wet his cheeks Ale makes many a man to lie in the streets Ale makes many a man to wet his sheets And doll, doll, doll thy ale Doll, doll thy ale. Ale makes many a man to run o'er the fallows Ale makes many a man swear by God and All Hallows Ale makes many a man to swing from a gallows And doll, doll, doll thy ale Doll, doll thy ale. And doll, doll, doll thy ale Doll, doll thy ale.
