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.
