    l'll climb up a higher tree
    to rob a rich birds nest
    and I come down without a stumble or a frown
    To the little girl I love best.
    Here's to you my dear
    Here's to them that's not here my dear
    If those that's not here were here my dear
    I wouldent drink good health to you my dear.
    Put your soul in bowl
    and it will never stop rolling till it rolls into hell
