[unknown] Lyrics

There were three jovial fellows
Three happy individuals appeared

Came over the hill together.
They arrived from over the hill together

Came over the hill together
They arrived from over the hill together

To make up a jovial crew.
To form a happy group

And they ordered their pints of beer
They requested their pint-sized glasses of beer

And bottles of sherry
And also some bottles of sherry

To help them over the hills so merry,
To assist joyous trekking over the hills

To help them over the hills so merry,
To assist joyous trekking over the hills

When Jones's Ale was new, me boys,
At the time when Jones's Ale was newly introduced

When Jones's Ale was new.
When Jones's Ale was new

And the first of them was a tinker,
The first man was a tinker

And he wasn't no small ale drinker.
He was not a small beer drinker

He was a jolly beer drinker
He was a mirthful beer consumer

Among this jovial crew.
A member of this happy group

And he called for a pint of the very best ale
He asked for the finest beer in a pint glass

To drink a whole gallon he never would fail.
He would never fail to drink a whole gallon of it

To drink a whole gallon he never would fail,
He would never fail to drink a whole gallon of it

When Jones' Ale was new, me boys
At the time when Jones's Ale was newly introduced

When Jones' Ale was new.
When Jones's Ale was new

And the next to come in was a soldier
The next person to arrive was a soldier

With his flintlock upon his shoulder,
Carrying his flintlock rifle on his shoulder

For none could be more bolder,
For nobody was braver

And his long broadsword he drew.
He unsheathed his lengthy broadsword

He swore every man should spend a pound,
He vowed that every man present should spend a pound

And they should treat all hands around.
And they should treat everyone present

Then he jolly well drank their healths all 'round
Then he cheerfully toasted the health of everyone present

And the next to come in was a dyer
The following person to arrive was a dyer

Who sat himself down by the fire,
Who seated himself next to the fire

'Cause that was his desire
Because that was his want

To make up a jovial crew.
To form a happy group

And the landlady told him straight to his face
The landlady told him directly to his face

The chimney corner was his own place,
That he should stay in the corner by the chimney

And there he could sit and dye his own face,
And there he could sit and dye his own face

And the next to come in was a mason.
The next person who arrived was a mason

His hammer needed refacin'.
His hammer needed repairing

His hammer needed refacin'
His hammer needed repairing

To make up a jovial crew.
To join the happy gathering

So he threw his old hammer against the wall
He flung his old hammer against the wall

And he hoped that the church and the chapel would fall,
Hoping that the church and chapel would collapse

For that'd make work for masons all
Because masons would have plenty of work

And the last to come in was a hatter,
The final person to arrive was a hatter

And there was no man ever fatter.
There was nobody fatter than he

No man could ever be fatter
Nobody could be fatter

And make up a jovial crew.
And become a member of the happy group

When the landlady's daughter, she came in
When the daughter of the landlady arrived

He kissed her twixt the nose and chin,
He kissed her between the nose and chin

And the pints of beer they came rolling in
And the pint glasses of beer kept arriving

When the landlord's daughter, she came in,
When the daughter of the landlord arrived

And we kissed those rosy cheeks again.
And we kissed her rosy cheeks once more.

We all sat down and then we'd sing.
We all sat down and then began to sing
