Have a Drink on Me - Lonnie Donegan

Written by：Trad ArrDonegan

In eighteen eighty down a dusty road

Along came a miner with a big fat load

He was caked in dirt from his head to his foot

His hair so black that it looked like soot

Well he reined in his mule and hitched him to

The rail

And he said ol' fella it's the end of the trail

Well he ambled down to the old saloon

He said I know it's early and it ain't quite noon

But hey hey ev'rybody drink on me

Everybody

Have a drink have a drink have a drink on me

Ev'rybody have a drink on me

Hey hey ev'rybody drink on me

Have a drink have a drink have a drink on me

Ev'rybody have a drink on me

Hey hey ev'rybody drink on me

Well

I just got a letter from down in tennessee

It said my uncle died and left an oil well to me

Hey hey ev'rybody drink on me

I've been diggin' all my life and I nearly got to hell

But my uncle dug potatoes and he struck an oil well

Hey hey ev'rybody drink on me on me men

Have a drink of drink

Ev'rybody have a drink on me

Hey hey ev'rybody drink on me

Have a drink have a drink have a drink on me

Well black gold yella gold guess it's all the same

Take my tip an give up the minin game

You can make a fortune writing adam faith songs
