Till It Is Clear Day

It was down in Cupid's garden,
where my love and I we chanced to meet.
I put my arms around her
and gave to her some kisses sweet.
Chorus:
For it's not the time to go, boys,
For to go, boys, for to go away
For it's not the time for to go, boys,
We will drink away till it is clear day.

I bought a bottle of good brandy
To drink in my love's company,
but she was so proud and haughty
That the de'il a drop would she drink with me.

Now my love is proud and haughty
And the de'il a drop will she drink with me,
But I can do without her,
If I could not, it would be bad for me.

Come, landlady, my darling,
Come, fill us up with a glass with speed.
We will drink it as a cordial
A cordial in the time of need.

For now is the time to go, boys,
For to go boys, for to go away
For now is the time to go, boys,
We will drink no more, for it is clear day.
