Three Jolly Coachmen

Kingston Trio


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. (repeat)
For tonight we merr-i be, (repeat twice)
Tomorrow we'll be sober. (what!)

Here's to the man who drinks dark ale and goes to bed quite
Mellow! (repeat)
He lives as he ought to live (repeat twice)
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. (repeat)
He falls as the leaves do fall, (repeat twice)
He'll die before october! (ho! ho! ho!)

Here's to the maid who steals a kiss and runs to tell her
Mother. (repeat)
She's a foolish, foolish thing. (repeat twice)
For she'll not get another. (pity!)

Here's to the maid who steals a kiss and stays to steal another.
(repeat)
She's a boon to all man kind. (repeat twice)
For soon she'll be a mother!
