stan rogers - the old rose & crown lyrics

the old rose & crown lyrics
[verse 1]
good friends gather round and i’ll tell you a tale
it’s a story well known to all lovers of ale
for the old english pub, once a man’s second home
has been decked out by brewers in plastic and chrome

[chorus]
oh, what has become of 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

[verse 2]
the old oak and bar where the pump filled your glass
gives way to formica and tanks full of gas
and the landlord behind, once a man of good cheer
now just mumblеs the price as he hands you your beer

[chorus]
oh, what has bеcome of 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

[verse 3]
and where are the friends who would meet for a jar
and a good game of darts in the old public bar?
well, the dartboard is gone, in its place is a thing
where you pull on the handle and lose all your tin
[chorus]
oh, what has become of 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

[verse 4]
but the worst of it all’s what they’ve done to the beer
their shandies and lagers just 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

[verse 5]
so, come all you young people who like to sup ale
lets hope for a happier end to my tale
for there’s nothing can fill a man’s heart with more cheer
than to sit in a pub with a pint of good beer
