Sing knock me twice on an old oak bar
With the lantern light a-glowin'
For the beer is brown
At the old Three Crowns
And the whiskey's always flowin'.
O, I knew a man
By the name of Bran
And his whiskey was delightful
He said "Goblins I've taken, and dungeons I've shaken,
It's my wife that's really frightful."
Sing knock me twice on an old oak bar
With the lantern light so mellow
For the beer is brown
At the old Three Crowns
And the bartender is yellow.
O, I knew a man
Who the lassies loved
And I heard him once complainin'
He said "I'm handsome and quaint; I just wish that the saints
Had remembered to put my brain in."
Sing knock me twice on an old oak bar
With the lantern light a-glimmer
For the beer is brown
At the old Three Crowns
And the bouncer couldn't be dimmer.
O, I knew a bar
In far Kelebrind
Full of bold and daring rovers.
They say "This world's full of blood, fear, fire famine, and flood...
...
Won't you pass that tankard over?"
Sing knock me twice on an old oak bar
With the lantern light a-smolderin'
For the beer is brown
At the old Three Crowns
And the company is golden.
