A Son of a Gambolier Lyrics by Charles Ives

Come join my humble ditty
From Tippery town I steer
Like ev'ry honest fellow
I take my lager beer
Like ev'ry honest fellow
I take my whiskey clear
I'm a rambling rake of poverty
And a son of a Gambolier
I wish I had a barrel of rum
And sugar three hundred pound
The college bell to mix it in
The clapper to stir it round;
I'd drink the health of dear old Yale
And friends both far and near
I'm a rambling rake of poverty
And a son of a Gambolier
