Christa Burch Keg Of Brandy Lyrics

[Verse]
I'm always drunk and I'm seldom sober
I'm constantly rovin'
From town to town
Oh but I'm old now
My sportings over
So Molly, [?], won't you lay me down

[Chorus]
Just lay my head on a keg of brandy
It is my fancy I do declare
For while 'm drinking, I'm seldom thinking
On a lovely Molly
From the county Claire

[Verse]
For the ripest apple is the soonest rotten
And the warmest love
Is the soonest cold
And a young man's fancies
Are soon forgotten
So beware young maids and don't make so bold [Chorus]
Just lay my head on a keg of brandy
It is my fancy I do declare
For while 'm drinking, I'm seldom thinking
On a lovely Molly
From the county Claire

[Verse]
It's youth and folly makes young men marry
And makes them tarry
A long, long
What can't be cured, love
Must be endured, love
So farewell, darling, I'm going away

[Chorus]
Just lay my head on a keg of brandy
It is my fancy I do declare
For while I'm drinking, I'm always thinking
On a lovely Molly
From the county Claire
