"Trust In Drink" lyrics

"Trust In Drink"

When life you're tastin', and money wastin'
And troubles hastin' for to spoil the day
Enjoy your leisure and take your pleasure
What good's your treasure when you're in the clay

Landlords and gentry, with gold a'plenty
Will still go empty into the ground
That's why we're thinkin' we best be drinkin'
Our glasses clinkin' to another round

I got your sorrow and grief tomorrow
Don't trouble borrow and be in the pink
Go nice and easy, when things are hazy
You'll not go crazy when you trust in drink

Landlords and gentry, with gold a'plenty
Will still go empty into the ground
That's why we're thinkin' we best be drinkin'
Our glasses clinkin' to another round

And if you're reelin', for life's hard dealin's
And if you're feelin' like a wretched soul
The lads and lasses, before life passes
Come fill your glasses from the flobbing bowl

Landlords and gentry, with gold a'plenty
Will still go empty into the ground
That's why we're thinkin' we best be drinkin'
Our glasses clinkin' to another round

With this emotion, we'll sail life's ocean
Without a notion, that we're at the brink
There's life before us, so join the chorus
It's time to pour us all another drink

Landlords and gentry, with gold a'plenty
Will still go empty into the ground
That's why we're thinkin' we best be drinkin'
Our glasses clinkin' to another round

Landlords and gentry, with gold a'plenty
Will still go empty into the ground
That's why we're thinkin' we best be drinkin'
Our glasses clinkin' to another round
