Rhyme Scheme: ABABB CBBBB DEDEB ABABFB| King Death was a rare old fellow | A |
| He sate where no sun could shine | B |
| And he lifted his hand so yellow | A |
| And poured out his coal black wine | B |
| Hurrah for the coal black Wine | B |
| - | |
| There came to him many a Maiden | C |
| Whose eyes had forgot to shine | B |

| The Scholar left all his learning | D |
| The Poet his fancied woes | E |
| And the Beauty her bloom returning | D |
| Like life to the fading rose | E |
| Hurrah for the coal black Wine | B |
| - | |
| All came to the royal old fellow | A |
| Who laugh'd till his eyes dropped brine | B |
| As he gave them his hand so yellow | A |
| And pledged them in Death's black wine | B |
| Hurrah Hurrah | F |
| Hurrah for the coal black Wine | B |
