Maudlin Man

This boozes shan't stop my fig From scourging my fair filly From promenading zag-zig From boozing nilly-willy I love to gulp Not because i am moneyed Not because i bore my relation off Not because of my job which i misplaced I will wage war On those who press me to breathalyse On those who pity me from the law On those, who my early death,they prophesy I will be gay With does who drink with my tenders With does who hail me all day With does Drink Mongers That time i hate Was when i thought of my life Was when i saw my family ate Was when i thought of warnings Now i realise That in my big safe no money That my cough pains even my eyes That my body smells like a dead pony Therefore, this palmwine shan't stop my face From staggering home like a wally From snoring in any messy place From gulping more of shepe, paraga or squaddie
