The Wenches’ Drinking Song
Words & music © 1999 Ginger Hulsopple This one is a little unusual. When the Fan Song was written, the melody stuck in my mind – and the result was that two days later, I filked my own song! I guess that is what makes me a musical ferret! I have also written verses for the characters at Scarborough Faire and Hawkwood Medieval Fantasy Faire...Am E7
So here's to the ladies who drink with the men
Am Dm Am E7 Am
Take heed of the mug that is lifted by a Wen-----CH!
C G
Oh! Tom he had an elbow that could hoist a keg of beer
Am E7
And never you saw him, lest a pub was near...
Am G F E7
But Molly, she bested him in a drinking bout
Am E7 Am
Now he's hoisting a babe so dear!C G
Now Fergus was a man who preferred his whisky neat
Am E7
And a gallon or more was to him no feat
Am G F E7
Then he chanced to be challenged by Nadalia the maid,
Am E7 Am
Now he sits in a family seat!C G
Young Angus - he was strong and he was so fond of mead
Am E7
Many a golden drop of that nectar he freed
Am G F E7
Till a buxom wench did beat him at the cup
Am E7 Am
Now he has five mouths to feed!C G
Oh! Sasha was a dragon and he had a mighty thirst
Am E7
When it came to drinking, he always finished first
Am G F E7
Except for the night that Kaitlyn got him down
Am E7 Am
Now he fears his scaly head will burst!C G
Siridien was a man who brewed the best of all
Am E7
And at sampling his wares, he never took a fall
Am G F E7
Till the night a young maid put him under the board
Am E7 Am
Now she keeps him busy at her hall.C G
There was a barbarian and his name was Bear
Am E7
He thought he was the best of the drinkers there
Am G F E7
Till a winsome maid at his table sat
Am E7 Am
Now he's tangled in her long black hair.C G
Oh! Slaughter he could brew and he certainly could drink
Am E7
No one could out-do him when the glasses did clink
Am G F E7
He was brought down low by a brown haired lass
Am E7 Am
Now he's working to keep her in mink!C G
Now the men of our kingdoms who are drinkers all
Am E7
When it comes to chuggin' they are champions tall
Am G F E7
But the wenches have them beat, hands down, you see
Am E7 Am
For the cup makes an easy fall!Return to Siobhan's Original Songs
