(Ian Robb)
chorus:
What
have they done to the old Rose and Crown?
The Ship, the King's Arms, and the World Upside
Down.
For oak, brass, and leather, and a pint of the best
Fade away like the sun
as it sinks in the west.
Come gather round friends, and I'll tell you a tale.
It's a
story well known to all lovers of ale.
The old English pub, once a man's second home
Has
been decked out by brewers in plastic and foam.
cho:
And the old wooden bar where
the pumps filled your glass
Gives way to Formica and tanks full of gas.
The old landlord
behind, once a man of good cheer
Just mumbles the price as he hands you your
beer.
cho:
And where are the friends who would meet for a jar,
Or a good game
of darts in the old public bar?
The dartboard is gone, in its place is a thing
Where you
pull on the handle and lose all your tin.
cho:
But the worst of it all's what
they've done to the beer.
With shandies and lagers that will make you feel queer.
For an
arm and a leg, they will fill up your glass
With a half and half mixture of ullage and
gas.
cho:
Recorded on Rose and Crown, Robb (Folk-Legacy)
