Ol' Roison the Beau

Lyrics

I've travelled all over this world
 And now to another I go
 And I know I should find good quarters
 To wait and welcome the beau
 Welcome ol' Roison the beau
 To welcome ol' Roison the beau
 I know how good quarters are waitin'
 For to welcome ol' Roison the beau
 When I'm dead and laid out on the counter
 A voice you will hear from below
 Sayin', "Send out a hogshead of whiskey
 To drink with ol' Roison the beau"
 To drink with ol' Roison the beau
 To drink with ol' Roison the beau
 Sayin', "Send out a hogshead of whiskey
 To drink with ol' Roison the beau"
 Then get you half a dozen smart fellows
 Let them all stagger and go
 And dig a great hole in the meadow
 And in it put Roison the beau
 And in it put Roison the beau
 And in it put Roison the beau
 Go dig you a hole in the meadow
 And in it put Roison the beau
 And get you a half dozen barrels
 Put water at me head and me toes
 With a diamond ring scratch in upon it
 And the name of ol' Roison the beau
 With the name of ol' Roison the beau
 With the name of ol' Roison the beau
 With a diamond ring scratch in upon it
 With the name of ol' Roison the beau
 ♪
 I hear that old tyrant approachin'
 That cruel remorseless foe
 And I lift up me glass in his honor
 Take a drink with ol' Roison the beau
 Take a drink with ol' Roison the beau
 Take a drink with ol' Roison the beau
 And I lift up my glass in his honor
 Take a drink with ol' Roison the beau
