Come all ye bold heroes attend to my song
I’ll sing in the praise of good brandy and rum
There’s a clear crystal fountain o’er England shall roll
Give to me the punch ladle, and I’ll fathom the bowl

Refrain:
I’ll fathom the bowl
I’ll fathom the bowl
Give to me the punch ladle
I’ll fathom the bowl

From France we get brandy, from Jamaica comes rum
Sweet oranges and lemons from Portugal come
But stout, ale and cider are England’s control
(Rule Brittania! Brittania, rule the waves!)
Give to me the punch ladle, and I’ll fathom the bowl

Refrain

My father, he lies in the depths of the sea
Cold rocks for his pillow, what matter to he
There’s a clear crystal fountain o’er England shall roll
Give to me the punch ladle, and I’ll fathom the bowl

Refrain

My wife, she disturbs me as I lay at my ease
She’ll do as she will and she’ll say as she please
My wife is the devil, she’s black as the coal
So give to me the punch ladle, I’ll fathom the bowl
