THE SKY LARK, &c, Song

While some do love full bowls of quaff, Some like a dog and gun O! But I a cheerful hearty laugh, Give me a bit of fun O!

For I'll smile and jest, and do my best, While life's hour glass doth run O! And while I can, tho'an old man, I'll have a bit of fun O!

I lik'd a lass both brisk and gay, And after her did run O! Then whisper'd something in her ear, For I lov'd a bit of sun O!

So ripe for sport and bliss was she, I thought the business done O! But when I feign would happy be Says she, you're making fun O!

So with laugh, and joke, and mirth and song, At length her heart I won O! And then to church we went along, And at night we had some fun O!
