Drink Up the Cider, George

from Loose Cannons by The Jolly Rogers

/

lyrics

Drink up the cider, drink up the cider,
For tonight we'll merry be.
We'll have the milkmaids over, and roll 'em in the clover.
The corn’s half done and so are we.
Drink up the cider George, pass me ‘round the jug.
Drink up the cider George; I think you’ve had enough.
There’s still more lader’s, half way up her gaters,
And there’s still more cider in the jug.
[CHORUS]
Drink up the cider George, old Dee’s been goin’ far.
Drink up the cider George, he’s getting’ quite a star.
His cheeks are getting redder, from carvin’ up the chedder,
And there’s still more cider in the bar.
[CHORUS]
Drink up the cider George, get up off the mat.
Drink up the cider George, put on thee great, big hat.
We’re goin’ to Ballycarry, to see me brother early,
And there’s still more cider in the back.
[CHORUS]
Drink up the cider George, get up off me chest.
Drink up the cider George, it’s time you had a rest.
There’s nothin’ like more cider, to make your smile get wider,
And there’s still more cider in the west.
[CHORUS] x2
