Lyrics Down Among the Dead Men - Sean Dagher, Nils Brown, Michiel Schrey

Down Among the Dead Men

Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Here’s a health to the King and a lasting peace
To faction end, to wealth increase
Come, let us drink while we have breath
For there’s no drinking after death
And he that will this health deny
Down among the dead men, down among the dead men
Down, down, down, down
Down among the dead men let him lie!
In smiling Bacchus' joy I’ll roll
Deny no pleasures to my soul
Let Bacchus' health 'round briskly move
For Bacchus is the friend of love
And he that would this health deny
Down among the dead men, down among the dead men
Down, down, down, down
Down among the dead men let him lie!
May love and wine their rights maintain
And their united pleasures reign
While Bacchus' treasure crowns the board
We’ll sing that joy that both afford
And they that won’t with us comply
Down among the dead men, down among the dead men
Down, down, down, down
Down among the dead men let him lie!
