Come Let Us Drink About

 COME, LET US DRINK ABOUT. English, Air (2/4 time). E Flat Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. Chappell's (1859) version comes from an annonymous half-sheet ballad, though he finds another version in Vocal Miscellany (vol. ii, 1734) and The Aviary (1745). Come, let us drink about, And drive away all sorrow; For perhaps we may not,  For perhaps we may not, For perhaps we may not  Meet again tomorrow. Chappell (Popular Music of the Olden Time), vol. 2, 1859; p. 180.
