Roast Beef of Old England 
john Gay 1735

Lyrics courtesy of www.sailorsongs.com


When mighty roast beef was the Englishmen's food

 It ennobled our hearts and enriched our blood

Our soldiers were brave and our courtiers were good

Oh!  The roast beef of old England!  For old England's roast beef

La la   -  la  la  la  la la -  la  la  la  la la  -  la   la   la   la la

la  la  la   la  la  la  -   la   la   la   la la -  la   la   la  la  la   -

la   la   la   la la  -  la  la  la  la 

Oh!  The roast beef of old England!  For old England's roast beef

Our fathers of old were robust and stout

 And kept open house with good cheer all day long

Which made their plump tenants rejoice in this song

Oh!  The roast beef of old England!  For old England's roast beef

La la   -  la  la  la  lala -  la  la  la  la la  -  la   la   la   la la

la  la  la   la  la  la  -   la   la   la   la la -  la   la   la  la  la   -

la   la   la   la la  -  la  la  la  la 

Oh!  The roast beef of old England!  For old England's roast beef

In those days if fleets did presume on the main

They seldom or never returned back again

As witness the vaunting armada of Spain...

Oh!  The roast beef of old England!  For old England's roast beef

La la   -  la  la  la  lala -  la  la  la  la la  -  la   la   la   la la

la  la  la   la  la  la  -   la   la   la   la la -  la   la   la  la  la   -

la   la   la   la la  -  la  la  la  la 

Oh!  The roast beef of old England!  For old England's roast beef
