Lyrics:

I was… drinking in Anvil, and I saw a lovely sight
I wanted more of the sight I saw, and it kept me up all night

I met a handsome Steinr, and I’d gladly tie the knots
He could earn a name for his kissing game, so someone tell the scops

Drinking in Anvil, I saw a lovely sight
I wanted more of the sight I saw, and it kept me up all night

I met an Urizeni, who had a smile bright
She let me take her by the hand, and she showed me the light

Drinking in Anvil, I saw a lovely sight
I wanted more of the sight I saw, and it kept me up all night

I met a shining Freeborn like I’d never seen before
To lie with him and touch his skin I’d gladly go to war

Drinking in Anvil, I saw a lovely sight
I wanted more of the sight I saw, and it kept me up all night

I met a Marcher farmhand, pouring seeds into a trough
Our clothes were like potatoes; we peeled those things right off

Drinking in Anvil, I saw a lovely sight
I wanted more of the sight I saw, and it kept me up all night

I met a fine Navarri, whose face was fresh with scars
His smile was sweet and his words were too and he had a lovely arse

Drinking in Anvil, I saw a lovely sight
I wanted more of the sight I saw, and it kept me up all night

I met a Dawnish Yeoman, who made a toast to glory
And so we drank and so we danced and it made me rather horny

Drinking in Anvil, I saw a lovely sight
I wanted more of the sight I saw, and it kept me up all night

I met a fancy Leaguer, with a taste for the fine things
And so we went into his tent and he showed me his ring

Drinking in Anvil, I saw a lovely sight
I wanted more of the sight I saw, and it kept me up all night

I met an Orcish shaman, who really was a wonder
And when we bounced into the bed it was louder than the thunder

Drinking in Anvil, I saw a lovely sight
I wanted more of the sight I saw, and it kept me up all night

I met a Highborn priest in the imperial synod
He gave me quite the anointing when he touched me with his rod

Drinking in Anvil, I saw a lovely sight
I wanted more of the sight I saw, and it kept me up all night

I met a stern Varushkan, who was full of mystery
After a shot or two we were in the loo where she revealed herself to me

Drinking in Anvil, I saw a lovely sight
I wanted more of the sight I saw, and it kept me up all night

I got so drunk in Anvil, so drunk that I was blind
But I can still remember, that I had a lovely time

Up All Night (Drinking Song)

This song was played once at Songs and Stories well over a year ago now, for my first time hosting, and made famous by John Butler
Due to the way the song works, not only does parts change each time I play it, its far too hard to difficult to get the sound perfect within the circle without electrical trickery! So I thought I should record it, stick it up on here and have you lovely people enjoy it
