God give that it lasts!

Beer, (beer!) A song and a legend!
Keep boredom at bay with beer, and grief with song
Beer, (beer!) For the benefit of all men!
Come sing with us now, we'll drink all night long
 
We all have burdens to bear
To the wife in the mill we must then go
For she is wise, she gives good advice
To the one who gives silver for her deed
But if you are thirsty, the inn is pretty close
Because beer strengthens the soul, beer makes strong!
 
Beer, (beer!) A song and a legend!
Keep boredom at bay with beer, and grief with song
Beer, (beer!) For the benefit of all men!
Come sing with us now, we'll drink all night long
 
Do you have blisters and diarrhoea? Do you vomit blood?
Wasn't the maiden as "pure" as you thought?
Maybe your fluids need to be calmed down
It costs a pitcher of beer or two
The barber knows where to bleed the vein
Where to put the cup and feed the leech
 
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey! Come, stranger, come into the heat
Hey! Come, stranger, sit by the hearth
Hey! Come, stranger, where's your home town?
Hey! Come, stranger, tell us your name
 
Hey! Come, tell whither you're going
Hey! Come, tell about your goods
Hey! Come, tell where the speed has led
Hey! Come, tell, news you have heard
 
Hey! Come, stranger, here is offered hot food
Hey! Come, stranger, eat, drink and be happy
Hey! Come, stranger, drink to our health
Hey! Come, stranger, God give that it lasts!
 
Beer, (beer!) A song and a legend!
Keep boredom at bay with beer, and grief with song
Beer, (beer!) For the benefit of all men!
Come sing with us now, we'll drink all night long
