The Corries
Rosin the Beau
I've traveled all over this world, and now to another I go
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
I know that good quarters are waiting to welcome old Rosin the Beau

Then get a half dozen stout fellows, and stand 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 you a couple of bottles, put one at my head and my 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 hear the great tyrant approaching, that cruel remorseless old foe
But I'll lift up my glass in his honor and drink to old Rosin the Beau
A drink to old Rosin the Beau
A drink to old Rosin the Beau
I'll lift up my glass in his honor and drink to old Rosin the Beau
