"There Is a Tavern in the Town" is a traditional folk song, which first appeared in the 1883 edition of William H. Hill's Student Songs. The song was the college anthem of Trinity University College. It was famously performed by Rudy Vallée as "The Drunkard Song", slightly changing the chorus. While recording the last verses of the song, Vallée started to laugh uncontrollably given the antiquated lyrics. He and his band recorded the song again without laughing, but Victor released both takes in 1934. He also performs the song in the film Sweet Music.

He and his band recorded the song again without laughing, but Victor released both takes in 1934. He also performs the song in the film Sweet Music. There have also been recordings by Gracie Fields (c.1938) and Wally Cox. Bing Crosby included the song in a medley on his album 101 Gang Songs (1961) and Nat King Cole performed a cover of the song on his album Those Lazy-Hazy-Crazy Days of Summer (1963).It also featured in the English WW2 Leslie Howard movie, Pimpernel Smith, as the code tune to indicate the pimpernel's presence. While the song is usually performed up-tempo, a balladic version appeared in the Ripper Street third season episode "Ashes and Diamonds", arranged for Charlene McKenna as the character Rose Erskine on BBC One and Amazon Prime Instant Video.
