THE MERRY MEN OF ENGLAND by ANONYMOUS

First Line: "OH THE MEN OF MERRY, MERRY ENGLAND"
Last Line: "TO THE MEN OF MERRY, MERRY ENGLAND"
Subject(s): ENGLAND;FAME; ENGLISH;REPUTATION;
Oh the men of merry, merry England,
Search ye the wide world round,
And take ye the best
From the East to the West,
Where are such to be found?
The herald of fame
Attends on the name,
'Tis a passport to all that is free;
On the sea or the land,
Ever foremost they stand,
Then gaily my burthen shall be,
The men of merry, merry England,
The men of merry, merry England,
Let the bottle pass,
And toss another glass
To the men of merry, merry England.
