about

Fathom the bowl.
Traditional song from the 16th century Adapted and arranged by Gillie Mc Pherson

lyrics

Come all you bold heroes, give an ear to my song
And I’ll sing you the praises of brandy and rum.
From the clear crystal fountain near Ireland shall roll.
Give me the punch ladle, I’ll fathom the bowl.

I’ll fathom the bowl, I’ll fathom the bowl.
Give me the punch ladle, I’ll fathom the bowl.

From France we do get brandy, from Jamaica comes rum.
But sweet oranges and apples from Portugal come.
Now stout and strong cider are Ireland’s control
Give me the punch ladle I’ll fathom the bowl.


My wife she do annoy me when she’s laid at her ease.
She does what she likes and she says what she please.
My wife she’s the devil, she’s black as the coal.
Give me the punch ladle, I’ll fathom the bowl.


My father he do lie in the depths of the sea
With no stone at his foot but what matters to he
Is the clear crystal fountain near Ireland shall roll.
Give me the punch ladle I’ll fathom the bowl.
