I've traveled all over this world
And now to another I go
And I know that good quarters are waiting
To welcome old Rosin the Bow

To welcome old Rosin the Bow, oh
To welcome old Rosin the Bow
And I know that good quarters are waiting
To welcome old Rosin the Bow

When I'm dead and laid out on the counter
A voice you will hear from below
Sayin', Send down a hogshead of whiskey
To drink with old Rosin the Bow

To drink with old Rosin the Bow, oh
To drink with old Rosin the Bow
Sayin', Send down a hogshead of whiskey
To drink with old Rosin the Bow

Then get a half-dozen stout fellas
And stack thеm all up in a row
Let 'em drink outta half-gallon bottles
To thе memory of Rosin the Bow

To the memory of Rosin the Bow, oh
To the memory of Rosin the Bow
Let 'em drink outta half-gallon bottles
To the memory of Rosin the Bow
Then get this half-dozen stout fellas
And let them all stagger and go
And dig a great hole in the meadow
And in it put Rosin the Bow

And in it put Rosin the Bow, oh
And in it put Rosin the Bow
And dig a great hole in the meadow
And in it put Rosin the Bow

Then get ye a couple of bottles
Put one at me head and me toe
With a diamond ring scratch upon 'em
The name of old Rosin the Bow

The name of old Rosin the Bow, oh
The name of old Rosin the Bow
With a diamond ring scratch upon 'em
The name of old Rosin the Bow

I fear that old tyrant approaching
That cruel, remorseless old foe
And I lift up me glass in his honor
Take a drink with old Rosin the Bow

Take a drink with old Rosin the Bow, oh
Take a drink with old Rosin the Bow
And I lift up me glass in his honor
Take a drink with old Rosin the Bow
