[Intro (verse)]
I've traveled this wide world all over
And now to another I'll go
I know that good quarters are waitin'
To welcome Old Rosin the Beau

[Chorus]
To welcome Old Rosin the Beau
To welcome Old Rosin the Beau
I know that good quarters are waitin'
To welcome Old Rosin the Beau

When I'm dead and laid out on the counter
A voice you will hear from below
Singin' out for some whiskey and water
To drink to Old Rosin the Beau
[Chorus: last line of verse twice, then last 2 lines]
[Break (verse)]

Get ya six stompin' broa' laddies
And line them all up in a row
Let 'em drink out of half gallon bottles
To the memory of Rosin the Beau
[Chorus]

I've only this one consolation
As out of this old world I go
I know that the next generation
Will remember Old Rosin the Beau
[Chorus, then break (verse and chorus)]

I see that old tyrant approachin'
That cruel remorseless old foe
And I lift up my glass in his honor
Take a drink with Old Rosin the Beau
[Chorus]
