The Irish Rovers Lyrics

"Let The Toast Go Round"

And we'll drink to good companions and Irish whiskey neat
We'll drink to wives and lovers and we hope they never meet
We'll drink to rogues like us may good fortune on us fall
And when the toast comes 'round we'll drink to anything at all!

Now when the day has ended, and all the work is though
We gather at the alehouse to raise a glass or two
And as we sat there drinkin', we sing and dance and roar
'Til we become far merrier than we ever were before

And we'll drink to good companions and Irish whiskey neat
We'll drink to wives and lovers and we hope they never meet
We'll drink to rogues like us may good fortune on us fall
And when the toast comes 'round we'll drink to anything at all!

From France we get good brandy, Jamaica has fine rum
And frothy pints of porter from dear old Ireland comes
England has a cider, and the Scots their single malt
They're fine and decent drinks, me boys, with them we find no fault

And we'll drink to good companions and Irish whiskey neat
We'll drink to wives and lovers and we hope they never meet
We'll drink to rogues like us may good fortune on us fall
And when the toast comes 'round we'll drink to anything at all!

Now when the glass is empty, to another we'll agree
For the more we have to drink, sure the merrier we will be
And the merrier we become, all our troubles fade away
They might be there tomorrow, but we're happier today

And we'll drink to good companions and Irish whiskey neat
We'll drink to wives and lovers and we hope they never meet
We'll drink to rogues like us may good fortune on us fall
And when the toast comes 'round we'll drink to anything at all!

A' when the night is over we'll go our separate ways
It's farewell to my comrades 'til we meet another day
The parting brings us sorrow and it leaves a heavy heart
So we'll have another glass, me boys, at least before we part

And we'll drink to good companions and Irish whiskey neat
We'll drink to wives and lovers and we hope they never meet
We'll drink to rogues like us may good fortune on us fall
And when the toast comes 'round we'll drink to anything at all
And we'll drink to good companions and Irish whiskey neat
We'll drink to wives and lovers and we hope they never meet
We'll drink to rogues like us may good fortune on us fall
And when the toast comes 'round we'll drink to anything at all!
