Peter Warlock’s Fancy

By Peter Warlock

Thumbnail

Bring us in no beef, sir, for that is full of bones

But bring home good ale enough, for that my love alone is:

Bring us home good ale, sir, bring us home good ale

And for our dear lady, lady love - bring us some good ale

Bring us home no wheaten bread, for that be full of bran;

Neither of no rye bread, for that is of that same

But bring us home good ale, sir, bring us home good ale

And for our dear lady, lady love - bring us some good ale

Bring us home no pork, sir, for that is very fat;

Neither no barley bread, for neither love I that

But bring us home good ale, sir, bring us home good ale

And for our dear lady, lady love - bring us some good ale

Bring us in no mutton, sir, for that is tough and lean

Neither no tripes, sir, for they be seldom clean

But bring us home good ale, sir, bring us home good ale

And for our dear lady, lady love - bring us some good ale

Bring us home no veal, sir, that do I not desire

But bring us home good ale enough to drink by the fire;

But bring us home good ale, sir, bring us home good ale

And for our dear lady, lady love - bring us some good ale
