Dear Mother, dear Mother, the Church is cold, But the Ale-house is healthy & pleasant & warm; Besides I can tell where I am use'd well, Such usage in heaven will never do well.
But if at the Church they would give us some Ale. And a pleasant fire, our souls to regale;
We'd sing and we'd pray, all the live-long day; Nor ever once wish from the Church to stray, We'd sing and we'd pray, all the live-long day; Nor ever once wish from the Church to stray,
Then the Parson might preach & drink & sing. And we'd be as happy as birds in the spring: And modest dame Lurch, who is always at Church, Would not have bandy children nor fasting nor birch.
And God like a father rejoicing to see, His children as pleasant and happy as he:
Would have no more quarrel with the Devil or the Barrel But kiss him and give him both drink and apparel.
We'd sing and we'd pray, all the live-long day; Nor ever once wish from the Church to stray, We'd sing and we'd pray, all the live-long day; Nor ever once wish from the Church to stray,
