COME, LET US DRINK ABOUT. English, Air (2/4 time). E Flat Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. Chappell's (1859) version comes from an annonymous half-sheet ballad, though he finds another version in Vocal Miscellany (vol. ii, 1734) and The Aviary (1745).
Come, let us drink about,
And drive away all sorrow;
For perhaps we may not,
For perhaps we may not,
For perhaps we may not
Meet again tomorrow.
Chappell (Popular Music of the Olden Time), vol. 2, 1859; p. 180.
