THE BARLEY MOW

(Drinking Song)
Here's good luck to the pint-pot, good luck to the Barley Mow,
Jolly good luck to the pint-pot, good luck to the Barley Mow;
Here's the pint-pot, half-a-pint, gill-pot, half-a-gill
Quarter-gill, nipperkin, and a brown bowl,
Here's good luck, good luck, good luck to the Barley Mow.
 
Here's good luck to the quart-pot, good luck to the Barley Mow,
Jolly good luck to the quart-pot, good luck to the Barley Mow,
Here's the quart-pot, pint-pot, half-a-pint, gill-pot, half-a-gill,
Quarter-gill, nipperkin and a brown bowl,
Here's good luck, good luck, good luck to the Barley Mow.
 
Here's good luck to the half-gallon. . .
Here's good luck to the gallon. . .
Here's good luck to the half-barrel. . .
Here's good luck to the barrel. . .
Here's good luck to the landlord. . .
Here's good luck to the landlady. . .
Here's good luck to the daughter. . .
Here's good luck to the brewer. . .
Here's good luck to the drayer. . .
Here's good luck to the slavie. . .
Here's good luck to the company. . .
