Down Among The Dead Men (song)
"Down Among the Dead Men" is an English drinking song first published in 1728, but possibly of greater antiquity. The song begins with a toast to "the King" and continues with obeisances to the god Bacchus which become increasingly less subtle descriptions of the benefits of alcohol in procuring opportunities for sexual intercourse. At the conclusion of each stanza of the song, those who deny the song's declarations are condemned to lay "down among the dead men", another term for drunken unconsciousness. Background The lyrics to the song have been most widely attributed to John Dyer. According to Charles Mackay, it was first performed at the theatre at Lincoln's Inn Fields. Another source gives credit for the melody to Henry Purcell, noting that it was first published in 1728 in ''The Dancing Master'', a multi-volume book of songs from Pearson & Young, but is likely of older origin. The song maintained its popularity into the Victorian era, with the lyrics modified to replace ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
