Subject: RE: good old Dutch & goddam Dutch/Drunk Last Night
...I hear some one singing; it was evidently some young
woman, nursing her little one to sleep. What are the words
by which these little ones are nurse to sleep? Do they
learn to lisp the Saviour's praise as they suck their
mother's milk? Let me listen:--

"Oh, I got drunk last night,
And I was drunk the night before,
And I'll be ---- if I don't get drunk to-night,
If I never get drunk any more."

Impious song! Mad reveire! Better never said or heard! ...
