Song: Come drink about Tom, let it pass about quicker,...

by George Day . A Catch for Three voices , in C major

Text:

Come drink about Tom, let it pass about quicker,
why the pox dost thou preach thus over thy liquor?
one hour or two boys, let us follow our drinking,
away with such sots as will always be thinking,
our brains will endure it, our pockets will bear it,
come drink about Tom, it is very good claret.
