O, Good Ale Comes - Robert Burns 1786

O, good ale comes, and good ale goes,
Good ale makes me sell my hose,
Sell my hose, and pawn my shoes -
Good ale keeps my heart above!

I had six oxen in a plough,
And they pulled all well enough:
I sold them all just one by one -
Good ale keeps the heart up!

Good ale keeps me bare and busy,
Makes me meddle with the servant girl,
Stand in the stool when I have censure -
Good ale keeps the heart up!
