Line 1: Line 1:
 +===== Fathom the Bowl =====
 +
 +Now all you bold fellows who've to this place come, 
 +I will sing you the praises of brandy and rum. 
 +Lend an ear to my song, good cheer is our goal 
 +Give me the punch ladle, I'll fathom the bowl. 
 +
 +**Chorus:**
 +
 +//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 
 +Sweet oranges and lemons from Portugal come 
 +But stout and strong cider are England's control 
 +Give me the punch ladle, I'll fathom the bowl. 
 +
 +[Chorus]
 +
 +My wife she do disturb me when I'm laid at my ease
 +She does as she likes and she says as she please
 +My wife, she's a devil, she's black as the coal
 +Give to me the punch ladle, I'll fathom the bowl. 
 +
 +[Chorus]
 +
 +My father he do lie in the depths of the sea 
 +Cold rocks for his pillow -- what matter to he? 
 +There's a clear crystal fountain near England shall roll 
 +Give me the punch ladle, I'll fathom the bowl. 
 +
 +[Chorus]
