JOLLY TOPER. English, Country Dance Tune (whole time). A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Toper = Tosspot, a drunkard. The are other 18th century airs by this name, including this English broadside [1]:
With my pipe in one hand, and my jug in the other,
TI'll drink to my neighbors and friends;
All care in a whiff of tobacco I'll smother,
For life I know shortly must end.
For while Ceres most kindly refills my brown jug
With good liquor I'll make myself mellow;
In a an old wicker chair I'll seat myself snug,
Like a jolly, true-hearted fellow.
