Upon the twenty-third of June As I sat with my glass and spoon Upon the twenty-third of June As I sat with my glass and spoon I heard a thrush, singing in a bush And the song she sang was the Jug of Punch Toori-a; fol the diddle li do day What more diversion can a man desire Than to sit down by an alehouse fire? What more diversion can a man desire Than to sit down by an alehouse fire? Upon his knee a tidy wench And upon the table a jug of punch Toori-a; fol the diddle li do day Learned doctors, with all their art Can not heal a broken heart Learned doctors, with all their art Can not heal a broken heart But even the cripple forgets his hunch When he's snug beside of a jug of punch Toori-a; fol the diddle li do day When I’m dead and in my mould At my head and feet place a flowing bowl When I am dead and left in my mould At my head and feet place a flowing bowl And everyone that passes by Can have one last drink with I Toori-a; fol the diddle li do day Upon the twenty-third of June As I sat weaving at my loom Upon the twenty-third of June As I sat weaving at my loom I heard a thrush, singing in a bush And the song she sang was the Jug of Punch Toori-a; fol the diddle li do day |
