Catches, canons and drinking songs
Come neighbours, assemble I pray,
let this be a jovial day,
dinner is on the table set,
and grace is said by Parson Brett,
what will you eat? here’s pork and peas,
mutton and beef, choose which you please,
if you’ll partake of homely cheer,
my friends you’re kindly welcome here,
drink and be merry,
boys, take off your sherry,
boys, we thank you for your favours all,
here’s your health, good Master Paul.
