Now God be with old Simeon
M. David
Now God be with old Simeon,
For he made cans for many a one,
And a good old man was he.
And Jenkin was his journeyman,
And he could tipple off ev'ry can,
And thus he said to me:
"To whom drink you?"
"Sir Knave, to you."
Then hey ho jolly Jenkin,
I spy a kanve in drinking,
Come pass the bowl to me.
