Dram For The Piper

HERE'S A DRAM FOR THE PIPER

V1: Well, come in my thirsty fellows!
Hang your hats inside the door.
If we're only fit to bursting,
Then there's surely room for more!
We'll deny the cold of winter,
we'll have only song and cheer,
as we gather here together
in the threshold of the year.

And here's a dram to warm the piper,
here's a dram to warm the hall,
here's a dram to raise the rafters,
here's a long life to you all!

V2: Here we tie the knot as lovers.
Here we raise the toast as friends.
Here we pass along from hand to hand
in a dance that never ends.
We'll forget about tomorrow,
we're protected from it here,
as we drink our fill together
from the tankard of the year.

And here's a dram to warm the piper,
here's a dram to warm the hall,
here's a dram to raise the rafters,
here's a long life to you all!

V3: Crack the seal above the bottle,
light the fire beneath the still,
let it soak us to the elbows
as we medicate our ills.
Sure the whiskey is fulfilling,
it will wash the conscience clear,
as we all sink back together
in the cradle of the year.

And here's a dram to warm the piper,
here's a dram to warm the hall,
here's a dram to raise the rafters,
Here's a long life to you all!

REPEAT Here's a dram to warm the piper,
here's a dram to warm the hall,
here's a dram to raise the rafters,
here's a long life to you all!

{Music Interlude}

REPEAT (after 4 bars of pipes):
Here's a dram to warm the piper,
here's a dram to warm the hall,
here's a dram to raise the rafters,
here's a long life to you all!
{End}
