Over in East Hartford, In the Burnside side of town |
|
|
|
An ancient well bring water up, From well beneath the ground. |
|
|
| |
At first they built an ice house, It's prospered all these
years; |
|
|
| |
But now they're doing better boys, They're brewing up some beer! |
|
|
| |
(Repeat Chorus Twice) |
|
Drink "Ten Penny
Ale!", Drink "Ten Penny Ale;" |
| |
The beer that's from the Burnside Boys, It's
water from the well. |
|
|
|
For years at the old ice house, You
could buy water too; |
| |
|
|
Home brewers came from miles around,
For water for their brew. |
| |
|
|
One day Big Bob took notice, Of all
the water sales; |
| |
|
| |
Big Bob he had a grand idea - , They'll make "Ten Penny Ale!" |
| |
|
| |
(Repeat Chorus twice) (Fiddle
instrumental) (Bagpipe instrumental) |
| |
Drink "Ten Penny Ale!", Drink "Ten Penny Ale;" |
| |
The beer that's from the Burnside Boys, It's
water from the well. |
| |
|
| |
So when you hear the piper, And feel
the call of brew, |
| |
|
| |
Order a "Ten Penny" lad, Or maybe
order two! |
| |
|
| |
'Cause over in East Hartford, Olde
Burnside brews a brew |
| |
|
| |
With crystal water from the well,
The best of olde and new! |
| |
|
| |
(Repeat Chorus Twice)
(Fiddle instrumental) (Bagpipe instrumental) |
| |
Drink "Ten Penny Ale!", Drink "Ten Penny Ale;" |
| |
The beer that's from the Burnside Boys, It's
water from the well. |
