OLD ROSE, by ANONYMOUS
First Line: Now we're met like jovial fellows
Last Line: "and burn, burn, burn the bellows"
Subject(s): Drinks & Drinking

Now we're met like jovial fellows,
Let us do as wise men tell us,
Sing Old Rose and burn the bellows:
Let us do as wise men tell us.

When the jowl with claret glows,
And wisdom shines upon the nose,
O then is the time to sing Old Rose,
And burn, burn, burn the bellows.
