The Boar's Head - !!!NEW!!!

A well-known olden time ballad is ‘The Boar’s Head Carol’ and having recently seen Henry IV and noticing the similarity in the name of the carol and the name of the inn I started wondering what it would sound like if Falstaff were to turn it into a song about his favourite watering hole.

The Boar’s Head (Inn) Carol

The Boar’s Head to drink go I

Because that’s where the Prince I’ll see

And I pray you good Bardolph be merry

Quaff plenty of the old vino

Come on fellows don’t be slow

Quaff plenty of the old vino

Come on fellows don’t be slow

Quaff plenty of the old vino

Our hostess Mistress Quickly is

I’ll honour her with one quick kiss

Because life is short remember this

And don’t place faith in honour so

Come on fellows don’t be slow

Quaff plenty of the old vino

Come on fellows don’t be slow

Quaff plenty of the old vino

The Boar’s Head as I understand

Is the best tavern in all the land

When you’ve a cup of sack in hand

There’s not far wrong that you can go

Loudly say it’s so Loudly say it’s so

Say it’s so

Come on fellows don’t be slow

Quaff plenty of the old vino
