THE DRUNKEN EXCISEMAN.
I know that young folks like to hear a new song,
Of something that's funny and not very long,
It is of an Exeiseman, the truth I will tell,
Who thought that one night he was going to hell.
Fal de lal, &e.
One night he went out to look for his prey,
He did meet with some smugglers as I heard them say,
In tasting the liquors they were going to sell,
The Exeiseman got drunk, the truth I will tell.
He got so intoxieated, he fell to the ground,
And like a fat sow he was foreed to lie down,
Just nigh to a coal pit the Exciseman did lie,
When four or five eolliers by chance did eome by.
They shouldered him up, and hoised him away,
Like a pedlar's pack without any delay,
Into the bucket they handed him down,
This jolly Exeiseman they got under ground.
The Exciseman awakened with terrible fear,
Up started a eollier, says, what brought you here?
Indeed, Mr. Devil, I don't very well know,
But I think I am eome to the regions below.
