Come, have a drink with me –
Care can swallow love,
And tasks devour time
Enough of cups of tea!
Your eyes, ever more sublime,
Dancing bright above
A brown and friendly beer
Will soon meet mine, my dear
Intoxicatingly.
Soon the winding counties will
Be lost behind me, motorways
And bending roads, the shopping malls...
Allie is a lass that must surpass
The highest hopes of lost man’s longing
I’d long have been put out to grass...
