All right, my lovers
Oh, there was a fair maiden as I do recall
"Beautiful"
"The barmaid was a local girl
who was raised in the very same house where Benjamin was born"
"Elowen Ella Keene, the midwife's daughter"
Oh, there was a fair maiden as I do recall
In a salt pickled pub by the old harbour wall
From the moment I saw her I knew I would fall
If e're she looked at me
"Benjamin Button requested just beer
on precisely two hundred and four occasions
Once a week, every Friday night for almost four years"
Oh, I turned up to see her once ev'ry week
She'd a gleam in her eye and a rose in her cheek
But she tied up my tongue so that I could not speak
When e're she looked at me
So pour me another, I'll drink 'til it's done
And drink through the night till the dawnin' of sun
So pour me anothΠ΅r, I'll never be free
From thΠ΅ way she looked at me
Since the day she looked at me
"But in all those years
Benjamin had been unable to say anything else to Elowen"
"And so she didn't call him by his name
when he arrived each Firday evening
for she didn't know it
She simply called himββ
'Just Beer', the usual?"
Oh, when e're she addressed me, my face it went red
My mouth became cotton, my feet turned to lead
My words and my wishes stayed stuck in my head
When e're she looked at me
"Come on Elowen"
"Somewhere over the course of those two hundred and four occasions
Benjamin managed to add the words
'please' and 'thank you'
at the appropriate moments"
"Please, thank you"
So pour me another, I'll drink 'til it's done
And drink through the night till the dawnin' of sun
So pour me another, I'll never be free
From the way she looked at me
Since the day she looked at me
"Come on then, boys!"
"Oh there she is"
"Come on Elowen, give us a verse!'
Oh, that maid, she were wild, as stubborn as stone
With a heart and a soul and a mind of her own
Though many men wondered, no mand could've known
What e're that look might be
So before you start cryin', before your heart sinks
Before all your tears go fillin' your drinks
You can't be assuming you know what she thinks
'Cause there's something you can't see
When there she looks at thee
So pour me another one, pour me another
Oh, I'll drink till it's done
Oh, I'll never be free
From the way she looked
So pour me another one, pour me another
Oh, I'll drink till it's done
Oh, I'll never be free
From the way she looked
So pour me another one (So pour me out another one)
Pour me another (So pour another)
Oh, I'll drink till it's done (So pour me out another)
Oh, I'll never be free
From the way she looked
So pour me another, I'll drink 'til it's done (Pour me another)
And drink through the night till the dawnin' of sun (I'll drink till it's done)
So pour me another, I'll never be free
From the way she looked at me (Oh, how she looked at me)
From the way she looked at me (Oh, how she looked at me)
From the way she looked at me
