Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGHGH IJIJCECE KDLDMBMBThough Virtue hurt you Vice is nice | A |
Aye Parson says it's wrong | B |
Yet for my pleasing I'll suffice | A |
With Women Wine and Song | B |
But though it be with jocund glee | C |
my tavern voice is ringing | D |
Had I to chuck on of the three | C |
By gad I'd give up singing | D |

Bu not the vine What draught divine | E |
Could better souse my throttle | F |
God never meant that mellow wine | E |
Should languish in the bottle | F |
So Cellerman your best bring up | G |
Let silver cobwebs mist it | H |
When gold or ruby brims the cup | G |
Could even saint resist it | H |

I love the ladies yes I do | I |
I always did and will | J |
I like with dainty dames to coo | I |
And have been known to bill | J |
Yes I agree it's wrong of me | C |
So call me grey rapscallion | E |
But when a lusty lass I see | C |
I whinny like a stallion | E |
- | |
Oh let me be a reprobate | K |
Your canting care defying | D |
I'll court that gay triumvirate | L |
Right to the day I'm dying | D |
So troll until the rafter rings | M |
And may my life be long | B |
To praise the Lord for precious things | M |
like Women Wine and Song | B |
