The Song of Hugh MacDuff:
Once when I was a young lad
Under the bright Red moon
I struck a vein of silver
And started my own saloon
The ale was smooth and easy,
The customers were rough
Then one day came a gnomish man
By the name of Hugh MacDuff
Some Dwarven Pride got in my eye and blinded me that day
I should’ve known that little gnome was trouble and dismay
He sat and drank the whiskey
He sang and drank the ale
While most dwarves flushed with pleasure
His face remained quite pale
He stood up on the barstool
And waved so all could see
He was issuing a challenge,
He was lookin straight at me
Some Dwarven Pride got in my eye and blinded me that day
I should’ve known that little gnome was trouble and dismay
He said I bet I can out-drink ye
I’ll bet ye all I own
But if I can out-drink ye
I take your house and home!
So we lined up all the lager
Eighteen pints for both
A shot for every sixth one
Thus our bets were made an oath
Some Dwarven Pride got in my eye and blinded me that day
I should’ve known that little gnome was trouble and dismay
We started out quite quickly
Cheers went all around
I thought I had ‘im finished
But then I hit the ground
I woke with quite a startle
And realized with a scare:
That gnome sure did outdrink me
He beat me fair and square.
I looked out at the signing
It was fresh and new
It read “this is MacDuff’s tavern”
A former dwarf saloon!
