With head unto the tap then lay me,

My feet towards the wall may lie.

And when you're to the grave me bringing,

As follow all then, man by man;

For God's sake let no bell be ringing,

And clinking glasses be your plan.

Upon my gravestone be inscribed,

This man was born, grew, drank, and died,--

And now he rests where he imbibed

In lifelong joy, the purple tide.
