'Come, Landlord, Fill the Flowing Bowl' or 'For Tonight we'll Merry Merry Be' is a traditional English drinking song originating in the mid-17th century, often linked to the 1617 play 'The Bloody Brother'. It became a popular tavern and college song, often called 'The Jolly Fellow' or 'Three Jolly Coachmen,' with popular 19th-century broadside publications and a 20th-century revival in folk circles.
Performed by the Houghton Weavers.
The painting is 'The Landlord's Story' by Frank Moss Bennett.
