i don't know if this song's been collected before, but would be interested to know if anyone has any more verses or versions.

D.R.I.N.K.I.N.G.In cellar drear my heart took cheerI quaffed the flowing measureMy cares soon passed, for in the glass I find life's sweetest pleasureIn good Rhine wine, this joy divineAnd while my glass I'm clinkingThe world grows bright, for all is rightWhen I'm drinking, drinking, drinkingLife full of care, we all must shareA portion of its sorrowAnd those who drink will leave, I thinkTheir troubles til tomorrowAnd youth and sage of every ageHave been my way of thinkingAnd found relief in every griefIn drinking, drinking, drinkingSo while I live my praise I'll giveTo Bacchus, ever laughingAnd in his reign will still remain The ruby reddish wantingAnd then at death, when my last breathIs slowly, surely shrinkingI'll find my peace, and life shall cease When I'm drinking, drinking, D.R.I.N.K.I.N.G.

i'm sorry it's hard to read, i didn't type it that way.
