Jones' Ale There were three jovial fellows Came over the hill together. Came over the hill together To make up a jovial crew. And they ordered their pints of beer And bottles of sherry To help them over the hills so merry, To help them over the hills so merry, When Jones's Ale was new, me boys, When Jones's Ale was new. And the first of them was a tinker, And he wasn't no small ale drinker. He was a jolly beer drinker Among this jovial crew. And he called for a pint of the very best ale To drink a whole gallon he never would fail. To drink a whole gallon he never would fail, When Jones' Ale was new, me boys When Jones' Ale was new. And they ordered their pints of beer And bottles of sherry, To help them over the hills so merry, To help them over the hills so merry, When Jones' Ale was new, me boys When Jones' Ale was new. (Alternate Chorus:) When the landlord's daughter, she came in, And we kissed those rosy cheeks again. We all sat down and then we'd sing. When Jones's ale was new, me boys, When Jones's ale was new. And the next to come in was a soldier With his flintlock upon his shoulder, For none could be more bolder, And his long broadsword he drew. He swore every man should spend a pound, And they should treat all hands around. Then he jolly well drank their healths all 'round And the next to come in was a dyer Who sat himself down by the fire, 'Cause that was his desire To make up a jovial crew. And the landlady told him straight to his face The chimney corner was his own place, And there he could sit and dye his own face, And the next to come in was a mason. His hammer needed refacin'. His hammer needed refacin' To make up a jovial crew. So he threw his old hammer against the wall, And he hoped that the church and the chapel would fall, For that'd make work for masons all And the last to come in was a hatter, And there was no man ever fatter. No man could ever be fatter And make up a jovial crew. When the landlady's daughter, she came in He kissed her twixt the nose and chin, And the pints of beer they came rolling in See also JONESAL2 @drink filename[ JONESALE BR ===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY===
