On the old board, we had a thread with the lyrics for all the songs sung at faire. Especially Pub Sing.
Anyone want to post some of the lyrics again?
Of course, Britny knows them all still. But me, being the forgetfull old man, can't remember squat.

Well...I prefer the Owain Phyfe version. Here's his lyrics:
Title: A Health To The Company
Traditional Irish
Many a modern day, North American, `Renaissance Festival' concludes at eventide with a singing of the Irish, traditional A Health To The Company. I learned the song from New World Renaissance Band woodwind master, Bob Bielefeld; and, have since added some personal lyric. The words inevitably assume greater meaning with the passing of each year.
Here's a health to the company and one to my lass. Let us drink and be merry all out of one glass. Let us drink and be merry all grief to refrain; for we may or might never all meet here again.
Kind friends and companions come join in my rhyme; and lift up your voices in chorus with mine. Let us drink and be merry all grief to refrain; for we may or might never all meet here again.
Our ship lies at harbor; she's ready to dock. I wish her safe landing without any shock. And if ever we meet again on land or on sea, I will always remember your kindness to me.
My footsteps may falter my wit, it might fail. My course may be challenged by November gale. E'er fortune shall prove to be friend or be foe, you will always be with me wherever I go.

Well, here's All For Me Grog, which Black Jack led us in on Sunday:
Chorus: Well it's all for me grog, me jolly jolly grog It's all for me beer and tobacco For I spent all me tin on the lassies drinkin' gin Far across the Western Ocean I must wander
Where are me boots, me noggin' noggin' boots? They're all gone for beer and tobacco For the heels they are worn out, and the toes are kicked about And the soles are lookin' out for better weather
Chorus
Where is me shirt, me noggin' noggin' shirt? It's all gone for beer and tobacco For the collar is all worn, and the sleeves they are all torn And the tail is lookin' out for better weather
Chorus
Well I'm sick in the head and haven't been to bed Since first I came ashore with me plunder But I spent all me dough on the lassies don't you know Far across the Western Ocean I must wander
Chorus
Well our money it was spent, so to our ships we went The sea, it was black, 'twas and omen But we set out on our way, for to head down to Cathay But we wound up on the banks of Loch Lomond...
For you'll take the high road, and I'll take the low road And I'll get to Scotland before ye For me and my true love will never meet again On the bonny, bonny banks of Loch Lomand...
Chorus Chorus

So, anyone got the lyrics to the Moose song? ;D
How about the one that Silent Lion does at pub sing? The one everyone sings the chorus too.

The Moose Song
When I was a young lad I used to like girls, I'd play with their corsets and fondle their curls. Till one day, my lady I caught with some churl,Now you'd never get treated that way by a moose.
Chorus Moose,moose, I like a moose, I've never had anything guite like a moose. I've had lots of lovers,my life has been loose, But I've never had anything quite like a moose.
Now when I'm in mood for a very good lay, I go to my closet and get me some hay. I go to my window and spread it around. Cause moose always come when there's hay on the ground.
Chorus
Gorillas are all right on Saturday night, Lions and tigers they put up a fight, But it's just not the same when you slam your caboose, As a feeling you get when you humps with a moose.
Chorus
I've done it with beasties with long flowing hair, I'd do it with snakes if there fangs were not there. I've done it with walrus, a monkey and a goose, But it's just not the same when you screw with a moose.
Chorus
Now that I am old and advanced in my years, I look back on my life and shed me no tears. As I sit in my chair with my glass of Matheus, Playing Hide-The_Salami with Melba the Moose.
Chorus

I've tried many beasties on land or on sea I've even tried hump-backs that humped back on me! Sharks are quite good, tho they're hard to pull loose But on dry land there is nothing quite like a moose! CHORUS Woodchucks are all right except that they bite And foxes and rabbits won't last thru the night! Cows would be fun, but they're hard to seduce But you never need worry should you find a moose! And other verses we haven't heard here www-cs.canisius.edu/~salley/Bard.book/moose.htmlWomen like pearls and diamonds and cars, I spend all my money on them in bars, But a moose is content to be tied to a tree, While I find other mooses to satisfy me. I went to the desert a Moose for to find, I only found camels, I near lost my mind, For camel reminds me of Moose just a bit, But Moose always swallow and camels just spit!
