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.
