One for the mourning glory
Two for the early dew
Three for the man who stands his ground
And four for the love of you my girl,
Four for the love of you
I likes a little drink at the end of the day
to raise up me voice and sing
spend an hour or two with a fine brown brew
and i'm ready for anything
at the Cross king's inn there was sisters for
the land lords daughters fair
and when all worked up on a winters night
I tip toe up the stairs singing
One for the mourning glory
Two for the early dew
Three for the man who stands his ground
And four for the love of you my girl,
Four for the love of you
I got the call from foreign shores
to sail and fight the hole
and i thought no more of the sisters, four
though I was sad to go
So i sailed away in a ship
the Mourning glory" was her name
and we'd all fall down when the rum went brown
but we'd get up and start again sing it now
One for the mourning glory
Two for the early dew
Three for the man who stands his ground
And four for the love of you my girl,
Four for the love of you
altogether now
One for the mourning glory
Two for the early dew
Three for the man who stands his ground
And four for the love of you my girl,
Four for the love of you
altogether with me please
One for the mourning glory
Two for the early dew
Three for the man who stands his ground
And four for the love of you my girl,
Four for the love of you
come on like this
One for the mourning glory
Two for the early dew
Three for the man who stands his ground
And four for the love of you my girl,
Four for the love of you
Two for the early dew
Three for the man who stands his ground
And four for the love of you my girl,
Four for the love of you
