A Cup of Old Stingo (Arr. for Baroque ensemble by The Playfords) - The Playfords/John Playford
Composed by:John Playford
There's a lusty liquor which good
Fellows use to take a
It is distill'd with nard most rich
And water of the lake a
Of hop a little quantity
And barm to it they bring too
Being barrell'd up
They call't a cup of dainty good old stingo
'Twill make a man indentures make
'Twill make a fool seem wise
'Twill make a Puritan sociate and
Leave to be precise
'Twill make him dance about a 'cross
And eke to run the ring too
Or anything he once thought gross
Such virtue hath old stingo
'Twill make a parson not to flinch
Though he seen wondrous holy
And for to kiss a pretty wench and
Think it is no folly
'Twill make him learn for to decline
The verb that's called mingo
'Twill make his nose like copper shine
If his head be lin'd with stingo
'Twill make an hostess free of heart
And leave her measures pinching
'Twill make an host with liquor part
And bid him hang all flinching
It's so belov'd I dare protest
Men cannot live without it
And when they find there
Is the best the most will flock about it
And finally the beggar poor
That walks till he be weary
Craving along from door to door
With pre-commiserere
If he do change to catch a touch
Although his clothes be thin too
Though he be lame he'll prove
His crutch if his
Head be lin'd with stingo
Now to conclude here is a
Health unto the lad that spendeth
Let every man drink off his can
And so my ditty endeth
I willing am my friend to pledge
For he will meet me one day
Let's drink the barrel to the dregs
For the malt-man comes a-Monday
I willing am my friend to pledge
For he will meet me one day
Let's drink the barrel to the dregs
For the malt-man comes a-Monday
