The Merry Old Town
Text: Anna Jenelius
Melody: Trad.
There was a town, a merry old town,
the town it had a tailor
Did not drink beer, but lost his dear,
he now drinks like a sailor
Oh beer, beer, tiddly-beer,
the town it had a tailor
Yes beer, beer, tiddly-beer,
he now drinks like a sailor!
And also in the merry old town,
there was a merry miller
But she got drunk and punched a skunk
the stench, it was a killer
Oh beer, beer, tiddly-beer,
there was a merry miller
Yes beer, beer, tiddly-beer,
the stench, it was a killer!
And in the town, the merry old town,
there was a little baker
Drank thirty cups of yeasted hops
he’s gone to meet his maker
Oh beer, beer, tiddly-beer,
there was a little baker
Yes beer, beer, tiddly-beer,
he’s gone to meet his maker!
