Lyrics
Verse 1:
[Steady and strong, building up the camaraderie]
In the deep halls under mountain's spine,
Where gems and gold in darkness shine,
We raise our mugs to the blacksmith's art,
For the sturdy steel and the craftsman's heart.
Chorus:
[Lively and loud, the heart of the song]
Oh, ale, oh ale, our trusty friend,
From dusk till dawn, you're here to lend.
By the forge's bright or hearth's soft glow,
You're the heart of tales from long ago.
Verse 2:
[A bit faster, with a sense of joy and revelry]
Through the clamor of the clanging forge,
The miner's pick, the warrior's gorge,
It's ale that soothes the sooty throat,
And brings the laughter to every note.
Chorus:
[With gusto, as if raising a toast]
Oh, ale, oh ale, our trusty friend,
From dusk till dawn, you're here to lend.
By the forge's bright or hearth's soft glow,
You're the heart of tales from long ago.
Verse 3:
[Slower, more reflective on the day's work]
When the day is done, and the work's complete,
And the miner's boots drag from the heat,
We gather 'round, a merry band,
With frothy ale in thirsty hand.
Chorus:
[Back to lively and loud, the celebration continues]
Oh, ale, oh ale, our trusty friend,
From dusk till dawn, you're here to lend.
By the forge's bright or hearth

Chorus:
[Triumphant and strong, the climax of the song]
Oh, ale, oh ale, our trusty friend,
From dusk till dawn, you're here to lend.
By the forge's bright or hearth's soft glow,
You're the heart of tales from long ago.
Outro:
[Slowly winding down, a satisfying conclusion]
So here's to ale, our golden prize,
By the forge's light, our spirits rise.
To the brew that never lets us down,
The finest drink by the crown.
