Subject: LYR REQ: Pass around the Grog From: snevhead (inactive) Date: 28 Jun 99 - 11:25 AM I'm looking for the full lyrics of a song with a chorus like this: And it's pass around the grog, my boys, and never mind the something (?) And something something girl I love I'll never ask for more. And here's to I who merry be, and never ask for joy. Sing, sing a merry, merry song. March onward my dear boys. Thanks snevhead |
Subject: Lyr Add: PUSH THE BOWL ABOUT etc. From: bigJ Date: 28 Jun 99 - 04:33 PM PUSH THE BOWL ABOUT. (from Folksongs of the Upper Thames p89 - by Alfred Williams).
Come push the bowl about, my boys,.
Chorus:.
The misers are the worst in this world,.
Here's a health unto our absent lass,.
DRINKING SONG .
Pass the jug around, my boys, and never mind the score,.
Never drunk shall he be called who rises from the floor,.
CHANTY SONG .
So it's pass around the grog, my boys, and never mind the scores,.
Oh, here's to Queen Victoria, oh long may she reign,.
PASS AROUND THE GROG .
Come pass around the grog, me boys, and never mind the score,.
Here's a health unto her majesty and long may she reign,.
There's one thing more I'll ask of you before we'll call for more,.
I've also heard the song called 'The Padstow Drinking Song'.
Such heroic sentiments require as many versions as possible. .

Subject: RE: LYR REQ: Pass around the Grog From: Bob Bolton Date: 28 Jun 99 - 06:19 PM G'day Snevhead & bigJ, In a well-worn Australian tradition, many of these songs (particularly those of sailors) passed over to cattle drovers (or overlanders) - who often spent as long driving herds of cattle thousands of miles to market as sailors spent on their voyages.
One come to mind with the chorus: Regards, Bob Bolton |
