Well follows Im drunk as a lord H
And my heads going round liko a top
For into my stomach Ivo pourod
Enough whisky to make my skull pop
Let us closo with a schooner of beer
Which will fill my skin up to tho nose v
For theres nothing liko liquor to cheer
And make one forgot all his woes
But boys I dislike to go homo
For although I am drunk as a fool
I know that half fume and half foam
Do not please a mans wife as a rule
Sho prefers solid food for tho kids
And I know theyve gone hungry to bod
And tho smell of red paint and stalft quids
Lack tho body of frosh meat andbroad
Then heres to the froth on tho beer
And hores to tho bead on tho ryes
< < si
There is nothing on earth half so dear
As tho sparkle of booe to tho eye
The man who dont drink is a chump
And his blood is as cold as a claraj
Give mo somothing that makes the hoart jump
And my scruples Ill choke in a dram

Last night I was out with tho boys
And I had such a jolly high timo
That my heads still unnerved from tho noise
And I blow in my vory last dime
Thoro is now not a cent in my purse
And my credits as bad as my breath
And matters could hardly btj worse
To my folks wore I clammy in death
My wife has gone homo to hor dad
And sho loft mo in sorrow and toarB

That my life should blight hors for years
Woll Ill givo her a chance to forgot
Hor misfortunos soon nftor I drown j
Ill drop in tho bayou and lot
My obsoquies bo borne by tho town
Oh thoros fun in tho glass for tho blind
Thoros a craze in tho drinkor as woll
Thoros a joy in destroying tho mind
Thoro is blisH in the drunk and down coll
But tho aomo of pleasure is roachod
In tho dopths of a dark filthystroam
And despito every sormon thatB preached
Thoros a zest in tho jim jammors scream
