I know all these are already in there but I thought I'd make a contribution
The Drinking song/ half of the Bath Song
Hey ho to the bottle I go,
To heal my heart and drown my woe,
Rain may fall and wind may blow,
But there's still to be many miles to go
Oh sweet is the sound of the pourin' rain,
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain,
but better than rain or ripplin' brook,
Is a mug of beer inside this Took!
The Bath Song
Sing hey! for the bath at the close of day
that washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he who will not sing
O! Water Hot is a noble thing!
O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain,
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
but better than rain or rippling streams
is Water Hot that smokes and steams.
O! Water cold we may pour at need
down a thirsty throat and be gald indeed;
but beer is better if drink we lack,
and Water Hot poured down the back.
O! Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did a fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!
the Green Dragon
Oh you can search far and wide,
you can drink the whole town dry,
you'll never find a beer so brown,
But you'll never find a beer so brown
As the one we're drinking in our town,
you can drink your fancy ales!
you can drink them by the flagon!
But the only brew for the brave and true....
Comes from the Green Dragon!
I'm still not sure of the iambic pentameter of some of them but that's the least I can do. Thank you if you took the time to read them.
