To a dear old pal of the drinking days;
We liked your style, and we liked your ways.
We don't regret, and we won't forget,
The happy day when first we met.

We hear you've taken a fair bride
To travel ever by your side.
We hope she'll think as much of you
As all the fellows down here do.

We're sending to your bride and you,
A token of a friendship true.
And hope all joy your lives will fill;
And blessings on you.
