I've traveled the wide world over
And now to another I go
I know that good quarters are waiting,
To welcome Old Rosin the Beau

To welcome Old Rosin the Beau
To welcome Old Rosin the Beau
I know that good quarters are waiting
To welcome Old Rosin the Beau

And when I'm laid dead on the counter
A voice you may hear from below
Saying, "Send down a hogshead of whiskey,
"To drink with Old Rosin the Beau!"

To drink with Old Rosin the Beau
To drink with Old Rosin the Beau
Saying, "Send down a hogshead of whiskey!"
To drink with Old Rosin the Beau

The get you some buxom young maidens,
And line 'em all up in a row.
Let 'em drink out of half gallon bottles
In the memory of Rosin the Beau!

In the memory of Rosin the Beau, me lads
In the memory of Rosin the Beau!
Let 'em drink out of half gallon bottles
In the memory of Rosin the Beau!

I hear the approach of the tyrant,
That cruel and remorseless old foe!
I lift up me glass in his honor,
Take a last drink with Rosin the Beau!

Take a last drink with Rosin the Beau
Take a last drink with Rosin the Beau
I lift up me glass in his honor
Take a last drink with Rosin the Beau
