Have a Drink on Me

In 1880 down a dusty road
Along came a miner with a big fat load
He was caked in dirt from his head to his foot
His hair so black, that it looked like soot

Well, he reined in his mule and hitched him to the rail
And he said, "Ol' fella it's the end of the trail"
Well, he ambled on down to the old saloon
He said, "I know it's early and it ain't quite noon"
But, hey, hey, everybody drink on me

Everybody!
Have a drink, have a drink, have a drink on me
Everybody have a drink on me
Hey, hey, everybody drink on me
Have a drink, have a drink, have a drink on me
Everybody have a drink on me
Hey, hey, everybody drink on me

Well, I just got a letter from down in Tennessee
It said my Uncle died and left an oil well to me
Hey, hey, everybody drink on me
I've been diggin' all my life and I nearly got to hell
But my Uncle dug potatoes and he struck an oil well, oh
Hey, hey, everybody drink on me

Let me hear you man

Have a drink, have a drink, have a drink on me
Everybody have a drink on me
Hey, hey, everybody drink on me
Have a drink, have a drink, have a drink on me
Everybody have a drink on me
Hey, hey, everybody drink on me

Brother Leslie now

Well Black gold Yellow Gold
I Guess it's all the same
Take my tip and give up the mining game
Hey, hey, everybody drink on me
Well sell your shovel and your old long johns
You can make a fortune writing Adam Faith songs
Hey, hey, everybody drink on me

One more time

Have a drink, have a drink, have a drink on me
Everybody have a drink on me
Hey, hey, everybody drink on me
Oh well have a drink, have a drink, have a drink on me
Everybody have a drink on me
Hey, hey, everybody drink on me
