Down Among the Dead Men - English Drinking Song

[@patrioticarchiveii9986]

Lyrics: Here's a health to the King and a lasting peace To faction an end, to wealth increase. Come, let us drink it while we have breath, For there's no drinking after death. And he that will this health deny, Down among the dead men, down among the dead men, Down, down, down, down; Down among the dead men let him lie! In smiling Bacchus' joys I'll roll, Deny no pleasure to my soul. Let Bacchus' health round briskly move, For Bacchus is a friend to Love; And they that would this health deny, Down among the dead men, down among the dead men, Down, down, down, down; Down among the dead men let him lie! May love and wine their rights maintain, And their united pleasures reign. While Bacchus' treasure crowns the board, We'll sing the joy that both afford. And they that won't with us comply, Down among the dead men, down among the dead men, Down, down, down, down; Down among the dead men let them lie!

Beautiful

Very nice. I can picture an old Halloween hand drawn animation to this song, a bit like St. James' Infirmary.
