NEVER LEARN TO DRINK.
(Contributed). Never learn to drink, bays, Never learn to drink. Pause upon the brink, bojr.s, Pause awhile and think. Never be so rash, boys; Never touch a drop ; 'Twill rob you of your cash, boys— You’ll find it hard to stop. For like an iron chain, boys, ’Twill bind you strong and sure ; A misery and pain, boys, You’ll never, never cure. In poverty and rags, boys, You’ll spend your little day, The sport of all the wags, boys, That pass along the way. Your friends will all forsake, boys, But still you cannot blame ; You’ve made yourself a rake boys, And lost your own good name. The appetite will grow, boys, And bring you to despair ; ’Twill lead to endless woe, boys ; Beware, then, boys, beware !
