| Many a year I have worked in these parts
|
| Running this inn that ain’t marked on no charts
|
| Though its location to many is known
|
| If you’re to find it you have to be shown
|
| Through methods long hidden we carefully craft
|
| A beverage to rival the Huntmaster’s draught
|
| The mere smell of which, the Gods would entice
|
| And them that know call it that Famous Ol' Spiced
|
| Here sits a man, a smuggler by trade
|
| A-boastin' of all of the money he’s made
|
| Runnin' his liquor to here and to there
|
| Travellin' all over and peddlin' his wares
|
| He says he’s had beers from Prussia and wines
|
| Taken from all of the very best vines
|
| But none of these tipples could ever suffice
|
| So I’ll bring him a jug of that Famous Ol' Spiced
|
| Oh, pour me a slug of it
|
| Throw me a mug of it
|
| Bring me a jug of that Famous Ol' Spiced
|
| In walks a sailor all battered and blue
|
| Fallen afoul of his captain and crew
|
| They’d pulled in to port, their cargo was stacked
|
| But three hours later he’s caught in the act
|
| Acquainting himself with the skipper’s own wife
|
| This fool was lucky to leave with his life
|
| He’s not here for doctors or friendly advice
|
| He just wants a jug of that Famous Ol' Spiced
|
| Oh, pour me a slug of it
|
| Throw me a mug of it
|
| Bring me a jug of that Famous Ol' Spiced
|
| For men of the sea go as fast as they come
|
| And leave little more than the tales they have spun
|
| So sing me your sermon and pay me my price
|
| And I’ll give you a jug of that Famous Ol' Spiced
|
| Oh, pour me a slug of it
|
| Throw me a mug of it
|
| Bring me a jug of that Famous Ol' Spiced |
