The rising sun was having fun
With the misty morning dew
Carmarthen town was feeling low
Hung over from a few.
The schooner frail was setting sail
For countries wide and far
And the girls all sang 'penillion'
Outside the Jolly Tar
Oh boys - outside the Jolly Tar.
Well Merlin's Hill was standing still
Above the Towi soundrising
He cast his wand on Bishop's Pond
And magic shone around.
The river flowed beside the road
Down to the sandy bar
And the girls all sang 'penillion'
Outside the Jolly Tar
Oh boys - outside the Jolly Tar.
Well pots and pails and old wives tales
Of legends long forgot
Goodwill and cheer and poor man's beer
Frequent the Coffee Pot.
He sold his ware in the market square
To feed his family fair
He sold his charms in the Tanners Arms
Without a second care.
The wine was good and the men all would
Forget the new found star
But the girls all sang 'penillion'
Outside the Jolly Tar
Oh boys - outside the Jolly Tar.
Well fleece and geese and twelve police
And coracles on the quay
The tide was wide by the riverside
Beneath the arches three.
Well the ships no more caress the shore
Or kiss the harbour way
But Merlin's well and his magic spell
Transforms the precinct grey.
The Towi pools and the grammar schools
Have long declined afar
But the girls still sing 'penillion'
Outside the Jolly Tar.
Oh boys - outside the Jolly Tar.
