The Kingston Trio Three Jolly Coachmen lyrics

(Dave Guard)
One, two and three

Jolly coachmen sat at an English tavern
Three jolly coachmen sat at an English tavern
And they decided, and they decided
And they decided to have another flagon

Landlord, fill the flowing bowl until it doth run over
Landlord, fill the flowing bowl until it doth run over
For tonight we merr-I be, for tonight we merr-I be
Tomorrow we'll be sober
(What?)

Here's to the man who drinks dark ale
And goes to bed quite mellow
Here's to the man who drinks dark ale
And goes to bed quite mellow

He lives as he ought to live
He lives as he ought to live
He'll die a jolly good fellow
(Ha, ha, ha)

Here's to the man who drinks water pure
And goes to bed quite sober
Here's to the man who drinks water pure
And goes to bed quite sober


He falls as the leaves do fall
He falls as the leaves do fall
He'll die before October
(Ho, ho, ho)

Here's to the maid who steals a kiss
And runs to tell her mother
Here's to the maid who steals a kiss
And runs to tell her mother

She's a foolish, foolish thing
She's a foolish, foolish thing
For she'll not get another
(Pity)

Here's to the maid who steals a kiss
And stays to steal another
Here's to the maid who steals a kiss
And stays to steal another

She's a boon to all mankind
She's a boon to all mankind
For soon she'll be a mother
