<blockquote>I am taking the privilege of determining the drinking songs of the community in my sole and dictatorial discretion.

No dissent will be tolerated, given the importance of this sacred task.

This is a solemn task.

We begin with Thomas Ravenscroft in 1609 from Deuteromelia.

I want videos dammit. And actual drinking.

This song represents our English contingent.

We have to learn actual songs. Small numbers of them.

We will visit France, India, Australia, Iran, Italy. Etc... but we begin with England.

<blockquote>
We be soldiers three,<br>
Pardonnez-moi je vous en prie,<br>
Lately come forth from the low country,<br>
With never a penny of money.

Here good fellow I drink to thee,<br>
Pardonnez-moi je vous en prie,<br>
To all good fellows where ever they be,<br>
with never a penny of money.

We be soldiers three,<br>
Pardonnez-moi je vous en prie,<br>
Lately come forth from the low country,<br>
With never a penny of money.

Here good fellow I'll sing you a song,<br>
Sing for the brave and sing for the strong.<br>
To all those living and those who have gone,<br>
With never a penny of money.

We be soldiers three,<br>
Pardonnez-moi je vous en prie,<br>
Lately come forth from the low country,<br>
With never a penny of money.

And he that will not pledge me this,<br>
Pardonnez-moi je vous en prie,<br>
pays for the shot what ever it is,<br>
with never a penny of money.

We be soldiers three,<br>
Pardonnez-moi je vous en prie,<br>
Lately come forth from the low country,<br>
With never a penny of money.

===France: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9dclrlVTBY Tourdion]===

This song is typically played/sung with four-part harmony: soprano, alto, tenor, bass. 

The soprano part carries the main lyrics, something like this:

<blockquote>
<div align="center">
(''French'')<br>
Quand je bois du vin clairet<br>
Ami tout tourne tourne tourne<br>
Aussi désormais je bois Anjou ou Arbois<br>
(2x)

Chantons et buvons<br>
A ce flacon faisons la guerre<br>
Chantons et buvons<br>
Mes amis buvons donc.<br>
(2x)

(''English'')<br>
When I drink a Claret wine,<br>
friends, my head turns, turns, turns<br>
so from now on I'm drinking (wine from) Anjou or Arbois

let's sing and drink,<br>
let's make war on this bottle<br> 
let's sing and drink,<br>
my friends, drink up then.
</div>
</blockquote>
