Item: Staggering Tom

by By Mr H Purcell . For Three voices, in C major

Song: ’Tis too late for a coach, and too soon to reel...

'Tis too late for a Coach, and too soon to reel home, we have Freedom to stagger when ye Town is our own; let's whirle it away, & whip sixpences round, 'till the Drawers are founder'd and the Hogshead does sound, The Glass stays with you Tom, save yr Tide, pull away, One Minute of Midnight is worth a whole Day.
