A
STEIN SONG
|
|
GIVE
a rouse, then, in the Maytime
For a life that knows no fear!
Turn night-time into daytime
With the sunlight of good cheer!
For it’s always fair weather |
5 |
When
good fellows get together,
With a stein on the table and a good song ringing
clear.
When the wind comes up from Cuba
And the birds are on the wing,
And our hearts are patting juba
|
10 |
To the
banjo of the spring,
Then it’s no wonder whether
The boys will get together,
With a stein on the table and a cheer for everything.
For we’re all frank-and-twenty
|
15 |
When
the spring is in the air;
And we’ve faith and hope a-plenty,
And we’ve life and love to spare;
And it’s birds of a feather
When we all get together, |
20 |
| With
a stein on the table and a heart without a care.
For we know the world is glorious,
And the goal a golden thing,
And that God is not censorious
When his children have their fling;
|
25 |
And
life slips its tether
When the boys get together,
With a stein on the table in the fellowship of spring. |
