Come my lads let us be jolly Throw away all melancholy-
...... is such folly      When we meet together
Let union be in all our fun- let all our hearts be joined as one
Well end the day as it begun Well end it all in pleasure
etc
Cant find it in the DT - is it in - are there more than 3 verses?
Solomon in all his glory vs2
Never fail to fill your glasses in vs3
Help

It's in the DT under "Let union be". I found it by searching "while we are together"

Great song!

Hi Guest Fogie,
apart from the 5 verses given in DigiTrad I also sing two verses that I wrote :-

Singing songs of mirth and pleasure
Here we sit and take our leisure
Golden moments that we treasure
While we are together

With my friends here close around me
Smiling faces that surround me
I'll pass the time away most kindly
While we are together.

Feel free to use them. Thats what keeps the tradition moving on.

regards Jake

I had a fourth verse which goes:

All be friends and not be fighting
no mudslinging nor backbiting
all these faults take no delight in
while we are together

feel free to use this as well

(the missing bit in your first verse is:

gloom and sadness is such folly

AWM. I have ususally heard that sung as:

Leave your quarrelling and fighting
Evil thinking and backbiting
All these things take no delight in
While we are together

Nice rendition on the "In Harmony's Way" CD put together by a number of mudcatters.

There is a version that goes

"When we're all in leather" :-0

but I'll let someone else post that...
