Many a year I have worked in these parts |
|
Running this inn that ain't marked on no charts |
|
Though its location to many is known |
|
If you're to find it you have to be shown |
|
Through methods long hidden we carefully craft |
|
A beverage to rival the Huntmaster's draught |
|
The mere smell of which, the Gods would entice |
|
And them that know call it that Famous Ol' Spiced |
|
Here sits a man, a smuggler by trade |
|
A-boastin' of all of the money he's made |
|
Runnin' his liquor to here and to there |
|
Travellin' all over and peddlin' his wares |
|
He says he's had beers from Prussia and wines |
|
Taken from all of the very best vines |
|
But none of these tipples could ever suffice |
|
So I'll bring him a jug of that Famous Ol' Spiced |
|
Oh, pour me a slug of it |
|
Throw me a mug of it |
|
Bring me a jug of that Famous Ol' Spiced |
|
In walks a sailor all battered and blue |
|
Fallen afoul of his captain and crew |
|
They'd pulled in to port, their cargo was stacked |
|
But three hours later he's caught in the act |
|
Acquainting himself with the skipper's own wife |
|
This fool was lucky to leave with his life |
|
He's not here for doctors or friendly advice |
|
He just wants a jug of that Famous Ol' Spiced |
|
Oh, pour me a slug of it |
|
Throw me a mug of it |
|
Bring me a jug of that Famous Ol' Spiced |
|
For men of the sea go as fast as they come |
|
And leave little more than the tales they have spun |
|
So sing me your sermon and pay me my price |
|
And I'll give you a jug of that Famous Ol' Spiced |
|
Oh, pour me a slug of it |
|
Throw me a mug of it |
|
Bring me a jug of that Famous Ol' Spiced |
