Three Sheets to the Wind

The Krynn Drinking Song

This is a clap hands, stomp feet, weave back and forth, have fun song. The descant and harmony parts are the ones who are the more “drunk.” This song is dedicated with fun and much love to Margaret Weis, who enjoys finding a happy hour wherever and whenever she can. Mirrashar wishes to gratefully acknowledge the talents of human singer and composer,

Janet Pock, for the original musical arrangements. Mirrasha also wants to acknowledge

the talents of human lyricist, Michael Williams.

Sing as the spirits move you,

Sing to your doubling eye,

Plain Jane becomes Lovable Lindas

When six moons shine in the sky.

Sing to a sailor’s courage,

Sing while the elbows bend,

A ruby port your harbor,

Hoist three sheets to the wind.

Three Sheets, three sheets,

Sing to the spirits,

Let the elbows bend,

Three sheets, six moons,

And hoist three sheets to the wind.

Sing while the heart is cordial,

Sing to the absinthe of cares,

Sing to the one for the weaving road,

And the dog, and all of his hairs.

All of the waitresses love you,

Every dog is your friend,

Whatever you say is just what you mean,

So hoist three sheets to the wind.

Three Sheets, three sheets,

Sing to the spirits,

Let the elbows bend,

Three sheets, nine moons,

And hoist three sheets to the wind.

Hoist three sheets to the wind.
