ENGLISH SONG AND BALLAD MUSIC.
Ye Bishops and Curates, Priests, Deacons, and
Vicars, [true,
When once you have tasted, you'll own it is
That Nottingham ale is the hest of all liquors,
And none understand what is good like to
you. [paper,
It dispels ev'ry vapour, saves pen, ink, and
For, when you've a mind in the pulpit to
rail, [without notes,
'Twill open your throats, you may preach
When inspir'd with a bumper of Nottingham
Chorus. Nottingham ale, boys, &c. [ale.
Ye Doctors, who more execution have done,
With powder and potion, and bolus and pill,
Than hangman with halter, or soldier with gun,
Or miser with famine, or lawyer with quill ;
To despatch us the quicker, you forbid us malt
liquor,
Till our bodies consume, and our faces grow
pale ;
Let him mind you who pleases— what cures all
disease is
A comforting glass of good Nottingham ale.
Chorus. Nottingham ale, boys, &c.
