  GARNET'S HOMEMADE BEER   Time: 2/2   Tenor: D   Bass: C 

  - Ian Robb, 1978, on: From Different Angels

  - Music: Barrett's Privateers (Stan Rogers)

  

  

  Oh, the year was Nineteen Seventy-eight

  (How I wish I'd never tried it now)

  When a score of men were turned quite green

  By the scummiest ale you've ever seen

  

  CHORUS:

  God damn them all, I was told

  This beer was worth its weight in gold

  We'd feel no pain, shed no tears

  But it's a foolish man who shows no fear

  At a glass of Garnet's home-made beer

  

  Oh, Garnet Rogers cried the town

  (How I wish I'd never tried it now)

  For twenty brave men, all masochists who

  Would taste for him his home-made brew

  

  This motley crew was a sickening sight

  (How I wish I'd never tried it now)

  There was caveman Dave with his eyes in bags

  He'd a hard-boiled liver and the staggers and jags

  

  Well we hadn't been there but an hour or two

  (How I wish I'd never tried it now)

  When a voice said: Gimme some home-made brew

  And Steeleye Stan hove into view

  

  Now Steeleye Stan was a frightening man

  (How I wish I'd never tried it now)

  He was eight feet tall and four feet wide

  He said: Pass that jug or I'll tan your hide

  

  Stan took one sip and pitched on his side

  (How I wish I'd never tried it now)

  Garnet was smashed with a gut full of dregs

  And his breath set fire to both me legs

  

  So here I lay in me twenty-third beer

  (How I wish I'd never tried it now)

  It's been ten years since I felt this way

  On the night before my wedding day
