Joy Of Draught lyrics

If I was the innkeeper I tell you what I`d do
I`d invite my friends for a drink or two
So grab your maid and dance away
I promise you good porter won`t lead you astray
So if you come around I`ll pour one into you

Let`s drink ye friends, let`s drink tallio
Let`s fill our glass and cheer `til the morning

When was fifteen, almost fifteen years ago
I pint of good beer was found in every bar
Every keeper in our town they made their own good draught
When travelling through the cities well I made some new acquaintance
Of girls and maids ales stouts and of good draught

Let`s drink ye friends, let`s drink tallio
Let`s fill our glass and cheer `til the morning

And now I`m older with some grey hairs on me head
The pleasures of drinking is not just still the same
The plenteous of ales and stouts are reduced into a few
The keepers aren`t allowed to make their own good brew
If I was the Innkeeper I tell you what I`d do
