I wrote this song when I played with an Irish folk band called the Black Velvet Band. It has become a favorite drinking song!

Proud to announce that my song: won in the January 2004 I am a songwriter from Western Wisconsin, writing and singing songs with an acoustic/folk/rock/country flavor. Also, I have been working on a collection of songs that re-tell the stories from the Civil War, with an emphasis on the Battle of Gettysburg. Check 'em out.

Lyrics
There is a song that I love to sing And I'll Sing it now for you My friends, it is no mystery It's of the fine brown brew I have yet to meet the ale For which I didn't care And there's no pub in all the land Where you won't find me there CHORUS: Hats off to beer, me boys Hats off to beer Lift your glasses in the air And give a hearty cheer When the barrel is empty We'll surely shed a tear Hats off to beer, me boys Hats off to beer Seven days without a beer Does surely make one week (weak?) It's pleasure in the company Of a frosted mug I seek I've traveled clear across the world You know that I've been cursed But the Devil doesn't know where a man will go When he's dying of the thirst REPEAT CHORUS Mr. Killian would be proud If he heard the old one say "Another time 'round with the Irish Red And the Devil, let him pay!" Sometimes she's a happy wench Or a beautiful maiden fair But there's nothing else on this green earth To which she can compare REPEAT CHORUS Now, there is but one dream I have And of this, I will relate It's not of riches, fame or power For these are not my fate Sure it's clear that I love my beer And of this there is no doubt And when I turn the kitchen tap I wish she's come flowing out! REPEAT CHORUS
