TOO LATE FOR A COACH
Henry Purcell - 1701
'Tis too late for a coach,
and too soon to reel home,
We have free-dom to stag-ger
when the town is our own;
Let's Whirl it a-way,
and whip six-pen-ces round,
Till the draw-ers are soun-der'd
and the hogs-head does sound.
The glass stays with you, tom
save your tide, pull a-way,
One min-ute of mid-night
is worth a whole day!
