LET'S BE JOVIAL. Scottish, Air (whole time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. "Let's be jovial &c." is a convivial song in Scottish poet Allan Ramsay's Tea Table Miscellany (1724, p. 298), where is appears under the title "A Song"[1]. The first two stanzas go:
Let's be jovial, fill our glasses,
Madness 'tis for us to think,
How the world is rul'd by asses,
And the wife are sway'd by chink.
Fal la ra &c.
Then never let vain cares oppress us,
Riches are to them a snare,
We're every one as rich as Cræsus,
While our bottle drowns our care.
Fal la ra &c.
