Sheet Music
Accompaniment
Lyrics
Chorus:
Drink and care not for the morrow
Drink boys and banish all sorrow
Blithe be today and tonight shall be gay
And we’ll all meet again in the morning
Chorus:
Think boys oh, think of tomorrow
Death with his poison tipped arrow
Down with the cup and to Heaven look up
And away, all away ere the morning
Chorus:
Think boys oh, think of tomorrow
Poverty, anguish and sorrow
Weep, oh weep while our loved ones sleep
And let’s all go to work in the morning
Chorus:
Neighbors shall greet as tomorrow
Wives bid adieu to their sorrow
Down with the cup and to Heaven look up
And we’ll all go to work in the morning
Chorus:
Hope, brothers, hope for tomorrow
Heaven hath banished our sorrow
Brave be the strife till the last day of life
When we’ll all meet again in the morning
