DRUNK LAST NIGHT

Drunk last night, drunk the night before;
Goin to get drunk to-night, if I never get drunk any more.
For when I’m drunk I f m as happy as can be.
For I am a member of the souse family.
Singin' glo-ri-ous, glo-ri-ous.
One keg of beer for the four of us.
Glory be to God that there are no more of us.
For one of us could drink it all alone.
Oh, they had to carry Carry to the ferry
And the ferry carried Carry to the shore.
Now the reason that they had to carry Carry,
Was 'cause Carry couldn't carry any more.

Singin' glo-ri-ous, glo-ri-ous.
One keg of beer for the four of us.
Singin' Glory be to God that there are no more of us
For one of us could drink it all alone.
