Card Playing Song
The king will take the queen but the queen will take the knave
And since we're in good company more liquor let us have

[Chorus]
Here's to you Tom Brown
And to you me jolly soul
And to you with all my heart
And with you I'll take a quart
With you I'll drink a drop or two
Before that we do part
Here's to you Tom Brown
Here's to you Tom Brown

The knave will take the ten but the ten will take the nine
And since we're in good company come let us have more wine

[Chorus]
Here's to you Tom Brown
And to you me jolly soul
And to you with all my heart
And with you I'll take a quart
With you I'll drink a drop or two
Before that we do part
Here's to you Tom Brown
Here's to you Tom Brown
The nine will take the eight, the eight will take the seven
And since we're in good company we'll drink till past eleven

[Chorus]
Here's to you Tom Brown
And to you me jolly soul
And to you with all my heart
And with you I'll take a quart
With you I'll drink a drop or two
Before that we do part
Here's to you Tom Brown
Here's to you Tom Brown

The seven will take the six, the six will take the five
And since we're in good company as sure as I'm alive

[Chorus]
Here's to you Tom Brown
And to you me jolly soul
And to you with all my heart
And with you I'll take a quart
With you I'll drink a drop or two
Before that we do part
Here's to you Tom Brown
Here's to you Tom Brown
The five will take the four, the four will take the trey
And since we're in good company we'll drink till break of day

[Chorus]
Here's to you Tom Brown
And to you me jolly soul
And to you with all my heart
And with you I'll take a quart
With you I'll drink a drop or two
Before that we do part
Here's to you Tom Brown
Here's to you Tom Brown

The trey will take the deuce, the ace will take them all
And since we're in good company we won't go home at all

[Chorus]
Here's to you Tom Brown
And to you me jolly soul
And to you with all my heart
And with you I'll take a quart
With you I'll drink a drop or two
Before that we do part
Here's to you Tom Brown
Here's to you Tom Brown
