Down at the Pub on the Cut by Johnny Handle Recorded by Jeff Dennison & Benny Graham When the weather is grim it’s time to turn in Down at the pub on the cut So you moor up your boat and it’s off with your coat Down at the pub on the cut Call in for the company, the crack and the cheer Order a pint of the old fashioned beer The landlord he smiles to see us in here Down at the pub on the cut There’s games you can play that’ll while time away Down at the pub on the cut Skittles and cards, the darts aren’t too bad Down at the pub on the cut Well there’s some count the spots as the dominoes click They don’t count the pints that slip down so quick Most will agree that does the trick Down at the pub on the cut There’s songs you can sing that’ll make rafters ring Down at the pub on the cut A canny old din as the others join in Down at the pub on the cut A squeeze box, a mouth organ, strum a guitar There’s harmony here as we stand by the bar Locals and boaters from near and far Down at the pub on the cut They’ll talk and they’ll wail over quality of ale Down at the pub on the cut Some pose and twitter, some drain the bitter Down at the pub on the cut There’s wine, port and sherry, gin and dark rum Or whisky to warm you on a cold winter’s run And a great big coal fire to warm up your bum Down at the pub on the cut So let’s give a cheer as the inn sign appears Down at the pub on the cut There’s lots nigh at hand and they’re spread through the land Down at the pub on the cut So here’s to the landlord that keeps the beer strong And here’s to the company that’s sung all night long And a small drop for the man that’s singing this song Down at the pub on the cut This is sung to the same tune as 'Messing About on the River'.
