I'LL NEVER GET DRUNK ANY MORE!
Tune—"Mall Brook."
One night when I got frisky
Over some poteen whisky,
Like waves in the Bay of Biscay,
I began to tumble and roar.
My face was red as a lobster,
I fell and I broke my nob, sir,
My watch was picked from my fob, sir—
Oh, I'll never get drunk any more!
Now I'm resolved to try it,
I'll live upon moderate diet;
I'll not drink, but will deny it,
And shun each alehouse-door;
For that's the place, they tell us,
We meet with all jovial good fellows;
But I swear by the poker and bellows
I'll never get drunk any more.
The landlady is unwilling
To credit you for a shilling;
She straightways sends her bill in,
And asks you to pay your score.
And if with money you're stocked,
She'll not stop till she's emptied your pocket;
Then the cellar-door is locked,
And you cannot get drunk any more.
So by me now take caution,
Put drinking out of fashion,
For your own brains out you're dashing:
Don't you feel your head quite sore?
For when all night you've tarried
Drinking of punch and claret,
In the morning home you're carried,
(Saying) "I'll never get drunk any more."
A man that's fond of boozing,
His cash goes daily oozing;
His character he's loosing,
And it's loss he will deplore.
His wife is unprotected,
His business is neglected,
Himself is disrespected,
So, do not get drunk any more.
