King Henry's Good Times
Advice from a colourful patron at a pub. The pace here is frenetic, and Folkins' voice rises to the occasion perfectly. Extreme scorching fiddle reels and blazing guitar motifs fit pub setting atmosphere perfectly. Excellent for period pieces or pub/bar scenes.

Lyrics
King Henry’s Good Times Doug Folkins 2009©
Sit right here beside me dear but I’ll warn you I’ve been drinking
I like my water spiked with rye so I know what you are thinking
If you don’t mind the drink or the songs I’m not that bad of company
But if songs that never end and boozing offends then you best keep on moving, and
Haul yourself away
Haul yourself away young girl
Haul yourself away
Cause I don’t want you feeling, like you are stealing
All of my good times away
I’ve got a twinkle in my eye and a whit sharp and dry and some might call me handsome
But if you don’t mind the drink or the songs I’m not that bad of company
But if songs that never end and boozing offends then you best keep on moving, and
Chorus
King Henry had his crown but no son could be found so the land was filled with scandal
Henry turned to the drink and I dare you to think to escape all his troubles
So when my time has come and my drinking days are done, you just might find me pleasing
But in the meantime I’ll just sit and drink and rhyme, like good old Henry
Chorus
