You're so full of knowledge, I thought I'd ask. Would you happen to have the music (not lyrics) for Lord Kitchener's Drink Ah Rum?
Thanks
Winsome25, Thanks for visiting. Don't know about the knowledge, but most of the music on this site is available via YouTube. The files are not mine. If you want to listen to "Drink Ah Rum" or buy the music, you can do so at We7. They have a wonderful collection of our music available for free listening. Here is the link.
Blessings!
Hey thanks for the lyrics. I can't seem to find chords or tabs for this song anywhere. Any suggestions on where I might obtain them?
Capt. Meow_Mix, I will do a search when I get a chance. Check back in about two days. By the way, tablature for which string instrument?
Blessings
