I've travelled this wide world over,
C Am
And now to another I'll go,
C F
For I know what good quarters are waiting
C G C
To welcome old 'Rosin the Bow.'
C F
To welcome old 'Rosin the Bow,'
C Am
To welcome old 'Rosin the Bow,'
C F
For I know that good quarters are waiting
C G C
To welcome old 'Rosin the Bow.'
[...and so forth]
When I'm dead and laid out on the counter,
A voice you will hear from below,
Crying out, 'Whiskey and water
To drink to old "Rosin the Bow."
To drink...
And when I am dead, I reckon
The ladies will want to, I know,
Just lift off the lid of the coffin
And look at old 'Rosin the Bow.'
And look...
Then get a full dozen stout fellows
And stand them all round in a row,
And drink out of half-gallon bottles
To the name of old 'Rosin the Bow.'
To the name of old Rosin The Bow
Then get half a dozen young fellows,
And let them all staggering go,
And dig a great hole in the meadow,
And in it toss 'Rosin the Bow.'
And in it...
Then get you a couple of tombstones,
Put one at my head and my toe,
And do not fail to scratch on it
The name of old 'Rosin the Bow.'
The name ...
I feel that great tyrant approaching,
That cruel implacable foe
That spares neither age nor condition,
Not even old 'Rosin the Bow.'
Not even
