Beer Drinker's Medley

It was only an old beer bottle,
Floating on the foam.
It was only an old beer bottle,
Far away from home.
Inside, there was a message,
With these words written on:
"Who ever finds this bottle,
Will find the beer all gone."

How dry I am I How dry I am !
Nobody cares, or gives a
Show me the way to go home.
I'm tired end I want to go to bed.
I had a little drink about and hour ago
And it went right to my head.
Wherever I may roam,
O'er land or sea or foam ,
You can always hear me
Singing this song.
Show me the way to go
I don't want to go
But I gotta go home.

Drunk last night,
Drunk the night before,
Gonna' get drunk tonite
Like I never got drunk before.

For when I'm drunk,
I'm as happy as can be,
For I am a member of the Souse Family.
The Souse family is the best family.
That ever came over from old Germany
There's the Lowland Dutch,
And the highland Dutch,
The Rotterdam Dutch,
And the Goddam Dutch.
God made the Irish
And he didn't make much,
But they're a damn-site better
Then the Goddam Dutch.

Sing glorious, sing glorious.
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.-

Goodby my Coney-Island baby
Farewell to thee my own true love.
I'm gonna' sail away and leave you,
Fever to return .
So you can have the dishes Mabel.
I'm gonna' sail away
On an old ferry boat.
Happy as the day is long.
So goodby, so-long, farewell forever
Goodby my Coney Island
I said my Coney Island
I mean my Coney Island baby.
