Rosy wine, rosy wine, wine we sip,

Sweeter far than woman’s lip;

If green-eyed grief assail the soul,

Why, drown him in the flowing bowl;

’Twere folly now to grieve or pine,

While seated near such rosy wine.

Rosy wine, &c.

Rosy wine, rosy wine, wine, they cry,

Doth beauty’s cheek by far outvie;

Thou to the soul art more sincere,
