Songs and pieces of music related to beer
Conrad Seidl
Hi,
I am a beer-writer trying to compile a list of music related to beer.
This could be (beer) drinking songs,
pieces of music with "Beer" or "Ale" in the title
music related to "Gambrinus" etc.
It would be interesting to get infos on composers, titles and possibly
who recorded them on which label.
Thank you
Conrad

Here's one you probably never heard of. "The Man that Waters the
Workers' Beer." It's from the British Workers Music Assn. and Paddy
Ryan is creditd with the lyrics to the tune of "Ramblin' Wreck from
Georgia Tech." Text and tune in "Lift Every Voice" (The Second People's
Songbook) originally published by Sing Out! and then Oak Publications.

What's a beer-writer?

Nevertheless, among the hundreds of possibilities in tradition, I'm
struck be the Copper family "Good Ale" on _English Shepherd & Farming
Songs_, Folk-Legacy - Tape,1964.
As hopeless paeans go, they don't get much better.
Check the Digital Tradition.

Well the obvious thing that comes to mind is the "Drinking Song" from
Sigmund Romberg's Operetta, "The Student Prince."

old dad.)
called I Want a Beer( just like.... that PIckled dear old dad.)I saw it

There is a well-know Norwegian song about the student who goes out
after beer. It's in the Dick Best book. The chorus goes something
like "Hop sa sa , fa la la la la la".

Think of all the versions of Faust (Gounod, Berlioz, Busoni, etc)
wherein Faust and Mephisto visit the students' tavern - if students
back then are like students now (and surely they are), they weren't
savoring Cabarnet Sauvignon!

There are dozens of English traditional ones at any rate! Amongst
other things I'll look out from my collection the double LP "A
Tale of Ale" as a starter.
I'll post you direct after the weekend..

Along the same line, we can't forget "Garnet's Homemade Beer". Or
maybe we can, considering the reported reaction of his guinea pigs.

Also recorded by Roberts & Barrand on their album Eat Bertha's Mussels,
which album contains several other songs relelvant to this thread, e.g.,

Interestingly, the postcard2 list has had a discussion of the beer/wine
anomaly recently: why do country songs generally mention wine instead of
beer when it's hard to imagine the ol' Possum sipping a Chardonnay? One
suggestion was that "wine" works better in rhymes. Anyhow, Tom T. Hall's
"I Like Beer" (Mercury, Tom T. Hall's Greatest Hits, vol. 2) ought to be
on the original poster's list.

The finest album (no-longer available unfortunately) is
The Tale Of Ale -- The Story of the Englishman
and His Beer
Ummm, Free Reed I think (Don't have it handy).
Sadly, it was supposed to come with a lyric sheet
but did not, and I gave up looking a long time ago (anybody
have one, Let me Know!)
Anyway, here's a list of the songs on the album. '*' is
one that I do have lyrics to, "^" is one that I would
desparately like to find lyrics to. Anybody??? I've
included snippits to most just to help jog the cells. Oh, and
some of the cuts are narrative, not song (I'll mark those
with a '!'). This is wonderful stuff, and I would dearly
love to put together a lyric sheet with all of these
on it. I did see a book in a library once (can't remember
where, 41YO, you see) that was a collection of many
ale and beer songs, which is where I picked up
a few of these. Anybody know of a book like that?
*Bring Us In Good Ale
!Andrew Boorde on ale
^Come Drink To Me (a round, and I can only get the first verse
wholly, the rest are just scraps)
- Come Drink To Me and I will drink to thee
Come drink and then shall we full well agree
- I have loved the jolly tankard for....????
- He that loves not the tankard is no honest man....???
- Pass the can....?????
*Jolly Good Ale And Old (Back and Side Go Bare)
!"He That Buys Land"
The Merry Fellows
He that will not merry merry be in spite of all his ???
...
Let him be merry, merry merry there
While we're all merry merry here
For who can know where we shall go
To be merry another year, brave boys
To be merry another year
*Soldiers Three
We be soldiers three, pardon-em-moi (and more frenchy stuff)

Angel is?)
!Stubbes on drunkenness
Good Ale For My Money
Be merry my friends and lis't awhile
I'll sing a merry jest

When you hear it expressed
The Excise Ballad
Oh fie upon this excise, tis pity it ever was paid
It makes good liquor to rise and pulls down many a trade
!The Porter scene from Macbeth
Peas, Beans, Oats, and the Barley
Here's to the man who ploughs at the land
Where the Peas, Beans, Oats, and the Barley stand
*The Pleasant Ballad Of John Barleycorn (all 34 verses!)
Now Harvest Is Over
Now Harvest Is Over and supper is past
Here's a health to our mistress all in a full glass
The British Toper (instrumental)
!Bickerdyke on temperence
^O Ale Ab Alendo (another round, this one I have all except last,
which I am not quite sure about)
- O Ale Ab Alendo thou liquor of life
Would that I had a mouth as big as a whale
- But mine is too little to sum the least tittle
That belongs to the praise of a pot of good ale
- But though I will never drink all that I wish
Yet still I'll endeavor to drink like a fish
John Barleycorn
Hey John Barleycorn, ho John Barleycorn
Old and young his praise is sung, John Barleycorn
*Ye Mar'ners All
Ye Mar'ners All that do pass by
Pull in and drink if you are dry
Pull in and drink and think nought amiss
And pop your nose in a jug of this
Epitaph/ Poor Tom Is Dead And Gone
^There's Comfort In A Drop Of Gin

And others court swee lovely Nan
For all who ???? to cry cry or grin
There's Comfort In A Drop Of Gin

*Don't Go Out Tonight Dear Father
Don't Go Out Tonight Dear Father
Think oh think how sad we'll be
When the angels come to take her
Papa won't be there to see
!The Drunkard's Looking Glass
Ale, Ale, Glorious Ale
Ale, Ale, Glorious Ale
Served up in pewter it tells its own tale
Some folks likes radishes, some ???? kale?
But give I boiled parnips, and a great of of taters
And a lump of fatty bacon, and a pint of good ale
I Like A Drop Of Good Beer
I Like A Drop Of Good Beer
I Like A Drop Of Good Beer
And damn his eyes that ever tries
To rob a poor man of his beer
The Carter's Health
Hey John Barleycorn

Old and young his praise is sung, John Barleycorn
Here's A Health To The Mistress

I don't know many songs about beer, and I got in on this late, so some
of what
I have you may already have gotten. In any case, here are a couple of
poems and
a song I heard years ago:
"Ale, ale's the stuff to drink
for those who's heads it hurts to think
and malt does more than Milton can
to justify God's ways to man."
"Shoulder the world and drink your ale."
--A.E. Housman
"In heaven there is no beer.
That's why we drink it here.
And when we're gone from here
our friends will be drinkin' all the beer."
--A song I heard on the radio in the late Sixties
I have no idea who sang this and would appreciate it if you let me know
if you find out.

More Songs & Rhymes from Buckinghamshire.
Oh the soldier and the sailor went a-walking one day,
Said the sailor to the soldier, I'm a-going for to pray,
I'm a-going for to pray for the good of all men,
And whatever-ever I do pray for you will answer Amen.
The first thing that they came to was an old hollow tree,
Said the soldier to the sailor, There's a pulpit for thee,
Pray on, said the soldier, pray on once again,
And whatever-ever you do pray for I will answer Amen.
The first thing that he prayed for was for our gracious Queen,
Happy may she live and long mav she reign,
And where she had one man I wish she had ten,
She would always have a standing army. Cried the soldier, Amen.
The next thing that he prayed for was for our gracious Queen,
That she may have peace and plenty all the days of her reign,
And where she has one ship I wish she had ten,
She would never ever want a Navy. Cried the soldier, Amen.
The next thing that he prayed for was a quart of brown ale,
And as long as we're a-drinking it may our hearts never fail,
And where we have one quart I wish we had ten,
Brave, cried the soldier, I will answer, Amen.

Is it ok to flame myself?
"Beer Barrel Polka" is something completely different. The song in question is called, strangely
enough, "In Heaven There is no Beer". It's been recorded by Frank Yankovic, Living Clean, and
Whoopee John's Orchestra, amongst others.

Missed that discussion, but that theory seems dubious to me. It's not
like it's hard to rhyme "beer". Granted that in any particular song the
writer might find a need to use "wine" instead of "beer" for the sake of
a particular rhyme -- for instance "Spending all my time/Drinking red,
red wine". But then again, the reverse could be true, too -- "Spending
all my time right here/On a barstool drinking beer".
My own tentative, lack-of-a-better-one conclusion is that wine is a
traditional metaphor going back centuries. Is there a law of
conservation of metaphor? Should there be?

To the best of my knowledge this is an almost literal translation of an
imortal German song. Try not to hear it at the Hofbrauhaus or
Oktoberfest!
IMHO the Germans have the BEST drink songs. Checkout the annual Fasching
song phenomenon - a new imortal every year.

There's a wonderful Irish version on one of Ron Kavana's CDs,
but my personal favourite is the English County Blues Band
re-write of it. Almost certainly unobtainable . . . IIRC my copy
of it is a recording of a radio broadcast . . .

Can't remember the name of the song or even who sang it, but it had a great
chorus that went like this :
"What's heaven like?
Red-hot women and ice-cold beer!
What's the other place like?
Ice-cold women and red-hot beer"

"Bring us a Barrel" was written by the late Keith Marsden, part of the
group Cockersdale, although it's often thought of as traditional.
Keith's other drinking songs include:
"A Pint of Old Peculiar"
(Old Peculiar is beer that lives up to its name)
He also wrote the song about booze-cruising down the Manchester Road in
Bradford-- "Doin' the Manch" If you could have a pint in each pub and
still be on your feet by the time you got to the end of the road you
were doing well!
Don't forget the song "Drink Old England Dry" (Trad. I think)

Awake, awake oh pretty,pretty maid

And step into your dairy shed
And fetch me a bowl of cream
If not a bowl of your sweet cream
A mug of your brown beer
For the Lord knows when we'll meet again
To be Maying another year
A branch of may I've brough to you

Well, so far I haven't seen my personal favorite musician, John Prine,
mentioned here (and no Steve Goodman or Tom Waits, either). So I'll toss
these in the hopper:
John Prine's "Out of Love," which was written while he was drinking all
the beer in his fridge after a breakup, is made up almost entirely of ad
slogans for different beer brands. Here's the first verse:
"Barley malts and does eat oats and little girls are lively
And your liveliness has left me in a brew
So I'm sitting here just drinking beer
Cause there's nothing else to do.
And when I'm out of love, I'm out of you."
John Prine and Steve Goodman co-wrote "Please Don't Bury Me," which
includes the classic line:
"Give my stomach to Milwaukee if they run out of beer."
In "Yes, I Guess They Oughta Name a Drink After You" Prine writes:
"You've left my heart a vacant lot
I'll fill it with another shot
And yes, I guess they oughta name a drink after you
Near Beer."
Steve Goodman's "Eight Ball Blues" begins with this great verse:
"Well I wish I had me some memories
That I'd keep inside my trunk
I wish I had a nickel for every beer I've drunk
And I wish I had me a sailing ship
That'd take me over the sea.
I wish I could talk you in to coming home with me."
Tom Waits' "Pasties and a G-String" opens:
"Pasties and a G-String, beer and a shot."
It doesn't specifically mention beer, but "Bad Liver and a Broken Heart"
opens:
"Well I got a bad liver and a broken heart,
Yeah, I drunk me a river since you tore me apart
And I don't have a drinking problem, 'cept when I can't get a drink"
Waits also wrote "Warm Beer and Cold Women." 'nuff said.
And, of course, Waits, in the the best bar-closing-time song of all
time, "I Hope That I Don't Fall In Love With You" writes:
"Now it's closing time, the music's fading out
Last call for drinks, I'll have another stout."
And, yes, I have spent WAY too many nights closing down bars, listening
to sad songs -- I used to own a bar with all of these songs on the
jukebox.
Cheers,
Jim

I've just thought of a couple more.

'Bluey Brink' also from Oz about a shearer '..who could drink, without winking,
four gallons of beer..'
'Hangover' about ...guess?
'Monday Morning' about that feeling after a weekend of boozing.
'I'm the man, the very fat man, who waters the workers' beer'
'Jones's Ale'
'Roll out the barrel'
'When the old Dun Cow caught fire' '...and we all got blue-blind paralytic drunk
when 'The Old Dun Cow caught fire.' A cockney song.
'Oh Good Ale'
'The Barley Mow'
And, of course, 'The Wild Rover'
I know some or all of most of these songs.
Cheers,

One of the stranger items is a song running aroung the filk circuit
called "307 Ale".
The title refers to beer brewed in a tesseract -- ending up 153 1/2%
alcohol. "And if you don't believe me, I've got lots and lots of
proof." ;-)
The lyrics are probably in a filk database somewhere.

First time reading this newsgroup, so I've missed the veginning of this
thread.
I have under my bed in the UK a double album entitled "Tale of Ale".
Unfortunately I am currently in Germany so can't check out all the
details, however it is full of songs and narrative relating to the
production and consumption of ale.
HTH and that no one else has already mentioned it.
Cheers
Rick.

'fraid I don't know the song, but the beer is spelled "Old Peculier",
brewed by Theakston Brewery, in Masham (pronounced Massun), North
Yorkshire.
Not particularly strong by some standards, but reckoned to have an effect
over and above the alcohol - what do they put in it :-?

Ale, ale, glorious ale!
Served up in pewter, it tells its own tale.
Some folk like cabbages, some curlye kale,
But give I boiled parsnips
And a good dish of taties
And a lump of fatty bacon
And a pint of good ale.
Alas, I don't know the rest of it. However, it contains the memorable

There's folk that's teetotalers:
They drinks water neat.

OK, I am *not*, repeat *not* going to state the obvious "100 bottles of
beer on the wall". Mostly cuz it's Friday afternoon and I would hate to
spoil the beginning of yr weekends by planting that insidious song-seed
in yr heads...
So, how about that song Neil Diamond sings on the "Hot August Night"
album that has the line "You were crying in your pretzels when I met
you. You were washing all the salt away from the dough..." I can't
drag any more of it up from memory, but I feel certain that there is
some sort of beer reference in the song.
Next question, what is the definition of a "drinking song"? Any song
that's fun to sing whilst drinking?? Opinions (and suggestions)
welcome.
Cheers,

Dos, a beer I like to drink
Ray, a guy who buys me beer
Me, a guy I buy beer for
Fa, a long way to buy beer beer
So, I think I'll have a beer
La, la la, la la, la la
Ti, no thanks, I'll have a beer
And that brings us back to...

Piano Man by Billy Joel refers to beer.
A Pub With No Beer - old Australian song , by Slim Dusty as I recall
Roll Out the Barrel - old English music hall song
and millions of Irish drinking songs which I can't recall just now -
the Dubliners have recorded many of them.

Of course, there's Hank Jr's "There a tear in my beer"....
But more importantly, I'm reminded of a story of Hank Williams Sr.,
concerning
apprehension about an upcoming Opry performance (early 1950's), where he
planned to sing his hit "My Bucket's Got a Hole In It" (i can't buy no
beer).... The Opry staff worriedly approached Hank beforehand, reminding them
of the strict Opry policy against mentioning alcohol of any sort on stage....
thinking he would have to drop the song, or at least drastically rewrite it...
How did Hank approach the situation? He just went out and sang it, just
the way it always was, but when he got to that line, he sang:
"My bucket's got a hole in it, I can't buy no MILK!"

How about 'Two pints of lager and a packet of crisps, please'?
I don't remember too much more about it but it made the charts in the
U.K. in the eighties.

Roger McGuinn refers to beer ("big dark beer in front of me") in
his song "Gate of Horn"! :-)
