| WE shall lodge at the sign of the Grave, you say; | |
| Well, the road is a long one we trudge, my friend, | |
| So why should we grieve at the break of the day? | |
| Let us sing, let us drink, let us love, let us play,— | |
| We can keep our sighs for the journey’s end. | 5 |

| We shall lodge at the sign o’ the Grave, you say; | |
| Well, since we are nearing our journey’s end, | |
| Our hearts should be happy while yet they may: | |
| Let us sing, let us drink, let us love, let us play, | |
| For perhaps it ’s a comfortless inn, my friend. | 10 |
