A couple of extra verses here, with some duplicated lines.

"I heard this song from Mary Meyer McAleese who, along with her husband Danny, used to have a pub in St. Pete Beach called Grace O'Malley's (that 'Pirate Queen again!). Mary said she heard it at the singer's session at the South Sligo Summer School held in Tubbercurry in the late 90's. It had the title "Bottle of Stout" but Mary wasn't sure who the author was. Having subsequently tracked down Sean Mone, the author, he informed me that the title is "Lovers and Friends"."



To work for a living I'm able and willing
But living for work's not my fancy
For riches can't slow down the seasons that go 'round
And their value it fades with life's passing
For the joys of the day in our memory will stay
To be recalled at our leisure
And the times that we spend among lovers and friends
Are the times we'll remember with pleasure

So lift up your glass so that future and past
In harmony be determined
For there's more friendship poured out in a bottle of stout
Than you'll find in statute or sermon

For riches and gold I've been bought I've been sold
But I've loved and been loved in proportion
I've dreamed of an end to injustice and pain
And I still haven't quite lost that notion
Of the good and the wise I've heard slander and lies
When honor and truth were forsaken
And I've watched the night end among lovers and friends
And I've been sad to see the dawn breaking
