ROSIN THE BEAU

(G) C - / F C F / G - / F C G C /

     C F / C F / C - / F C G C

I've traveled all over this world

And now to another I go

And I know that good quarters are waiting

To welcome old Rosin the Beau

     To welcome old Rosin the Beau

     To welcome old Rosin the Beau

     And I know that good quarters are waiting

     To welcome old Rosin the Beau

When I'm dead and laid out on the counter

A voice you will hear from below

Saying "Send down a hogshead of whiskey

To drink with old Rosin the Beau"

     To drink with old Rosin the Beau"

     To drink with old Rosin the Beau"

     Saying "Send down a hogshead of whiskey

     To drink with old Rosin the Beau"

Then get a half dozen stout fellows

And stack them all up in a row

Let them drink out of half gallon bottles

To the memory of Rosin the Beau

     To the memory of Rosin the Beau

     To the memory of Rosin the Beau

     Let them drink out of half gallon bottles

     To the memory of Rosin the Beau

Then get this half dozen stout fellows

And let them all stagger and go

And dig a great hole in the meadow

And in it put Rosin the Beau

     And in it put Rosin the Beau

     And in it put Rosin the Beau

     And dig a great hole in the meadow

     And in it put Rosin the Beau

Then get ye a couple of bottles

Put one at me head and me toe

With a diamond ring scratch upon them

The name of old Rosin the Beau

     The name of old Rosin the Beau

     The name of old Rosin the Beau

     With a diamond ring scratch upon them

     The name of old Rosin the Beau

I've only this one consolation

As out of this world I go

I know that the next generation

Will resemble old Rosin the Beau

     Will resemble old Rosin the Beau

     Will resemble old Rosin the Beau

     I know that the next generation

     Will resemble old Rosin the Beau

I fear that old tyrant approaching

That cruel remorseless old foe

And I lift up me glass in his honor

Take a drink with old Rosin the Beau

     Take a drink with old Rosin the Beau

     Take a drink with old Rosin the Beau

     And I lift up me glass in his honor

     Take a drink with old Rosin the Beau
