Transcription
Solo. The Great Unpaid
Air – "Away with melancholy" –
Away with grief. Be jolly
Nor grave night charges bring
Of drunken freaks and folly
But merrily merrily sing falla!
What's the use of repining
At magistrates odd law?
Can we prevent their fining?
The merrily merrily sing falla
Chorus Away with grief &c.
