[bad word] all ye bold fellows to this place [bad word] 
And we'll sing in the praise of good brandy [bad word] 
Lets lift up our glasses good cheer is our goal
Bring in the punch ladle, we'll fathom the bowl

We'll fathom the bowl
We'll fathom the bowl
Bring in the punch ladle 
We'll fathom the bowl

From France we do get brandy from Jamaica [bad word] 
Sweet oranges and lemons from [bad word] 
But stout beer and cider are England's control
Bring in the punch ladle, we'll fathom the bowl

We'll fathom the bowl
We'll fathom the bowl
Bring in the punch ladle 
We'll fathom the bowl

My wife she do disturb me as I lie at my ease
She does as she likes and she says as she please
My wife she's the devil she's black as the coal
Bring in the punch ladle, we'll fathom the bowl

We'll fathom the bowl
We'll fathom the bowl
Bring in the punch ladle 
We'll fathom the bowl

Oh my father he do lie in the depths of the sea
No stone at his head but what matters to he?
Here's a gallon of strong cider his death to console
Bring in the punch ladle, we'll fathom the bowl

We'll fathom the bowl
We'll fathom the bowl
Bring in the punch ladle 
We'll fathom the bowl
