Away with melancholy,

Nor doleful changes, ring’,

On life and human folly,

But merrily, merrily sing,

Fal,lal, &c.

Come on ye rosy hours,

Gay smiling moments bring,

We’ll strew the way with flowers,

And merrily, merrily sing,

Fal, lal, &.c.

For what’s the use of sighing,

While time is on the wing?

Can we prevent his dying?

Then merrily, merrily sing,

Fal, lal, &c.
