Oh after a long day in the fields.
Or working hard in my mine
I like to settle for the evening with a cold glass of wine.
But on this little island there's nothing but brew
So here I sit drinking brew just like you....drinking brew just like you.

I went to the Tavern to look for some wine.
And after much asking I had to decline.
Because not only was there no wine to be found.
Just loads of unemployed generals and scouts do abound.
So here I sit drinking brew just like you....drinking brew just like you.

The mayor's no help he hangs out on the farm.
And all of his people pick and store grain in the barn.
I'm still just looking for a touch of sweet wine.
There's none to be found on this island of mine.
So here I sit drinking brew just like you....drinking brew just like you.

When my friends coma a calling and need a gift to bring.
I tell them I'm grape less.
And tried of Brew
So bring me a bottle of wine or two.
So here I sit drinking brew just like you....drinking brew just like you.

show me the way to go home, i'm tired and i want to go to bed, i've had me a drink about an hour ago and its gone straight to my head.. i'm tired of working in the fields and building all day. so brew me some more to forget this day. and show me the way to go home

The bandits are gone, and thee fields be tended, but alas I have none to be my intended.
The miners work hard so I can travel afar, the bread keeps baking and at least the solders aren't shaking.
Hay now Hay now friends gather round, the brew is a brewing and the fights are all above ground.
There are guilds new and old, and with so many people trades rarely grow cold.
Off to visit other islands you see, simply cause adventuring is for me.
So here is the brew and here is the bread, just don't let your level go to your head.
So pass the word around Settlers is the best came around.

Sitting in the tavern all alone...
Watching everybody going home.
They've stopped pouring brew.
What am I gonna do.
Just sitting in the tavern all alone...

Wild Mary's banging on the door...
I don't think I'll come here anymore.
I thought we drove her out.
But now she screams and shouts.
Oh, Wild Mary's banging on the door...

Chuck just came stumbling down the stairs...
He looks a little worried and scared.
His pants are by his knees.
He's yelling "Mary PLEASE".
Oh, Chuck just came stumbling down the stairs...

Down crashed the tavern door just then...
Wild Mary stood there with some men.
She pointed her sword at Chuck.
Who then cried "Oh _ _ _ _ "
And that's why I sit here on my owwnnn............

Some Day O, Some day Oh HO, some day coming and this Island be home.
I look from the mountain top and what do I see,
A lush lovely land looking at me.

I see a place for timber, a quarry for the stone,
Venison and bear do freely roam.

Some day O, Some day Oh ho, Some day coming and dis island be home.

Tis a place by the brook for da brew,
Got a home place for me and you.
All my friends be stopping by for a feast,
Having roast turkey, and roasted Hairy beast.

Some day O, Some Day Oh Ho, Some day coming and dis Island be home.

Bowing our heads and saying grace.
For this island has become our sane place.

Some day O, Some Day Oh Ho, some day has come and this island is home.

we drinkin and trinkin
to your bleeding heart,
and making a fuss
to see such a beautiful tart.

oh yoldy doldily doooo

my song is for fun and
my mates are so merry,
we are all about laughing
and giggling as we tarry.

oh yoldy doldily doooo

yee yes i see thee as
i raise my pint to honor
those who left us before
the tavern has closed

oh yoldy doldily doooo

Me and my Settlers we live all alone
In a little Noble we call our own;
They all love gin and I love rum,
And don't we have a lot of fun
Little brown jug, don't I love thee!
It all comes from the Friary
When I go toiling on the farm
I take the little jug under my arm;
Place it under a Pinewood tree,
Little brown jug, 'tis you and me.

“The Day the Friary Opened” (all lines have 8 syllables)

Life was peaceful – all knew their place
Till they opened the Friary
That’s the day we learned what happens
When they give away brew for free

The fishermen got the first batch
They hit the skids before noon’s bell
They stacked their fish at Copper Mines
with miners too reeling to tell

The cutters all got together
You should have seen the smoke that day
Five hundred logs of fresh hardwood
the Coking Plant just burned away

The foresters were gone by three
They tried to work despite the haze
So there went all the new Wheatfields
Turned to trees in their giddy craze

The Papermills went dry early
Buckets were stumbled near their spot
For rather than walk on past him
the Bookbinder, a swamp he got

The marble stopped just past midday
Singing’s all we heard from the mines
And no one still sober dared to
go near the Powderhut’s confines

Me – I rode it out with my brew
here at this Tavern with my mates
We ran a Storehouse together
But that day its shambles could wait

So drink to the day we survived
When our world nearly crashed down
The day we forgot what we did
since the Friary came to town

(Repeated boisterously)
So drink to the day we survived
When our world nearly crashed down
The day we forgot what we did
since the Friary came to town
