dry;

Some drink to keep themselves in health, some drink for fear

they'll die;

And some drink because they are too hot; some drink because

they're cold;

Bome drink to strengthen them when young, and some when they

are old;

Some drink to keep themselves awake; some drink to gain

.deep sleep;

Some drink because they're happy; while others because they

weep:

Some drink to celebrate some gain; some drink to mourn a loss; Boma take a shot when they are pleased; some drink because

they're cross;

Some take a snort when they're at work; some drink when

they're at play;

Some count it right to drink at night; some drink alone at day; Some tip the glass for fellowship; some sneak it on the sly; Some drink when they are wringing wet; nowe drink because

they're dry;

Some take a shot of liquor when they make a bargain rare; Some take a drink when they've been atang for the drinks, the

feed and fare;

Some drink in search of pleastro; some drink to dim a pain; Some say it's good, some say it's bad, but never once refrain; But all mast own the proverb's right" When the iron's hot

then strike it;"

Ab, I've found the reason why man drink ALLSOPP'S-thay
