Robert W Service - At The Golden PigRobert W Service - At The Golden Pig
Work rating: Low


Where once with lads I scoffed my beer     The landlord`s lass I`ve wed. Now I am lord and master here;—     Thank God! the old man`s dead. I stand behind a blooming bar     With belly like a tub, And pals say, seeing my cigar:               `Bill`s wed a pub.` I wonder now if I did well,     My freedom for to lose; Knowing my wife is fly as hell     I mind my `Ps` and `Qs`. Oh what a fuss she made because     I tweaked the barmaid`s bub: Alas! a sorry day it was               I wed a pub. Fat landlord of the Golden Pig,     They call me `mister` now; And many a mug of beer I swig,     Yet don`t get gay, somehow. So farmer fellows, lean and clean     Who sweat to earn your grub, Although you haven`t got a bean:               Don`t wed a pub.
