Bring Us In Good Ale




Bring us in good ale and bring us in good ale
and for our blessed Lady's sake, bring us in good ale

Bring us in no brown bread for that is full of bran
Nor bring us in no white bread, for therein is no gain
But bring us in good ale, good ale and bring us in good ale
and for our blessed Lady's sake bring us in good ale
Bring us in no mutton for that is passing lean
Nor bring us in no tripes, for they be seldom clene
But bring us in good ale…
Bring us in no befe for ther is many bones
But bring us in good ale, for that goth down at once
But bring us in good ale…
Bring us in no bacon for that is passing fat
But bring us in good ale and bring us enough of that
But bring us in good ale…
Bring us in no eggys for ther are many schelles
But bring us in good ale and gife us nothing elles
But bring us in good ale…
Bring us in no butter for therin ar many herys
Nor bring us in no pyggys flesch for that will make us borys
But bring us in good ale…
Bring us in no poddyngs for therein is all goats blod
Nor bring us in no venison for that is not for our good
But bring us in good ale…
Bring us in no capons flesch for that is often dere
Nor bring us in no dokkes flesch for they slober in the mere
But bring us in good ale, good ale and bring us in good ale
and for our blessed Lady's sake bring us in good ale
