traditional, with additional lyrics by Drunk & Sailor

Chorus:
Drink up the cider, drink up the cider
For tonight we’ll merry be
We’ll have the milkmaids over
And roll them in the clover
Oh, the corn’s half done and so are we

Drink up the cider, George
Pass me ’round the jug
Drink up the cider, George
I have an empty mug
The night is almost over
And you see that we’re still sober
And there’s still more cider in the jug

Chorus

Drink up the cider, George
Get up off the mat
Drink up the cider, George
Put on your great big hat
Thy cheeks are getting redder
From carving up the cheddar
And there’s still more cider in the vat

Chorus

Drink up the cider, George
Get up off me chest
Drink up the cider, George
It’s time you had a rest
There’s nothing like more cider
To help your smile get wider
And there’s still more cider in the west

Chorus

Drink up the cider, George
Thee’s been going far
Drink up the cider, George
He’s getting quite a star
I’m off to Broadway to be famous
With me buddy Captain Amos
And there’s still more cider in the jar

Chorus

Drink up the cider, George
Put it in a can
Drink up the cider, George
We’ll sell it across the land
I’m going to court to be a witness
For my friend Phillip McGuinness
Cause a hanging would break up the band
