Come Landlord Fill the Flowing Bowl is a splendid English 18th-century drinking song which in the course of its long life has acquired no end of verses. Some ribald, some serious, some religious (particularly for Christmas celebrations) and some simply downright interesting such as
Farewell to Grog. I prefer to sing it straight in a 5-verse version found in the
Daily Express Community Song Book.
This song is also included in
We're Only Here For The Beer! - Light by
Dr. Rosteck and myself.
