OLD ROSE by ANONYMOUS

First Line: NOW WE'RE MET LIKE JOVIAL FELLOWS
Last Line: "AND BURN, BURN, BURN THE BELLOWS"
Subject(s): DRINKS & DRINKING;
Now we're met like jovial fellows,
Let us do as wise men tell us,
Sing Old Rose and burn the bellows:
Let us do as wise men tell us.

When the jowl with claret glows,
And wisdom shines upon the nose,
O then is the time to sing Old Rose,
And burn, burn, burn the bellows.
