The Happy Man

How happy's that man that's free from all care

He loves to make merry, he loves to make merry

With a drop of good beer

With his pipe and his friends puffing hours away

Singing song after song till he hails the new day

He can laugh, dance and sing and smoke without fear

Be as happy as a king till he hails a new year

How happy's that man who's free from all strife

He envies no other, he envies no other

But travels through life

With his pipe and his friends puffing hours away

Singing song after song till he hails the new day

He can laugh, dance and sing and smoke without fear

Be as happy as a king till he hails a new year

Our seaman of gold, they fear not their foes

They throw away discord, they throw away discord

And to mirth they're inclined

With his pipe and his friends puffing hours away

Singing song after song till he hails the new day

He can laugh, dance and sing and smoke without fear

Be as happy as a king till he hails a new year

How happy's that man that's free from all care

He loves to make merry, he loves to make merry

With a drop of good beer

With his pipe and his friends puffing hours away

Singing song after song till he hails the new day

He can laugh, dance and sing and smoke without fear

Be as happy as a king till he hails a new year
