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
