Enderal:Welcome Be You, Merry Drunkards

Welcome Be You, Merry Drunkards is one of the Bard Songs in Enderal.

Lyrics

Welcome be you, merry drunkards
Come along and drain your tumblers
Fifteen times they will be raised
So we start to count, apace.

One mug for the joy of being
Two mugs for the cleric's reading
Three mugs for the needy souls
Who are always out of dough.

Farmers drink, and shepherds tattle
Bored to death by grain and cattle,
Merchants, soldiers, whores alike
Let the liquor soak the night

Four mugs to the brewer's beer
He's the reason we are here
Five mugs to our gracious Lord
We'll get hammered in concord

And the nobles join our drinking
Thirsty from their lofty thinking
Workers, landlords, all the same
This night, there shall be no shame

Welcome be you, merry drunkards
Come along and drain your tumblers
My, have you not had enough?
Let us start with the good stuff

One mug for the joy of being
Two mugs for the cleric's reading
Three mugs for the needy souls
Who are always out of dough.

Farmers drink, and shepherds tattle
Bored to death by grain and cattle,
Merchants, soldiers, whores alike
Let the liquor soak the night

Blow some chunks, it doesn't matter,
We enjoy the booze and splatter
When we leave this place tonight
None shall be of sober mind

Yet this song draws near a close
Let us have a final toast
Here's to life and here’s to sousing
As we end our night’s carousing
