This is the truth as I see it, my dear,

fear
Nothing to lose or to gain.

Let us sit down and drink Of our
beer,
Happy-Go-Lucky and her Cavalier,
Out in the wind and rain.
Now we are old. hey, isn't it fine,
Out in the wind and rain?
Now we have nothing, why SWIVEL and
whine?
What would 1t bring us again?
When / was young / took o like
wine,
Held o and kissed you and thought
you divine
Happy-Go-Luckys the habits still
mine,
Gut in the wind and rain.
oh, my old Heart. what a life we had
led,
Out in the wind and rain!
How we have drunken and how we
have fed!
Nothing to lose or to gain.
Cover the fire now; get to bed.
Long is the journey M far has 1t led.
Come, let us sleep, lass, sleep like the
dead.
Out in the wind and rain.
