I've had my doubts, but my fates decided
The jury's out, their minds divided
I spend all my time debating, on the woes of my dear brothers
Without a thought to spare for their poor heartbroken mothers
For these reasons, I must decline
What's gone has passed, what's yours is mine
For five good years all I've done is drink, any money that I've seen
But I'm a little older now, more merry than I've been
There's a note there on the table
I'll write it if am able
But if I don't, and I probably won't, I'll be where you can find me.
