How Stands the Glass Around  (Why, Soldiers, Why?)How stands the glass aroundfor shame you take no care, my boys,How stands the glass aroundLet wine and mirth abound.   the trumpet sound   the colors they do fly my boys   To fight kill and wound   as you would be found,   Contented with hard fare, my boys   on the Cold groundO why, soldiers whyO why should we be melancholy boysO why soldiers whyWhose Business is to die   What sithing [sighing] fye   Let[s] not fear, Drink and be Jolly, boys   you and I through wet Cold or Dry   Our orders are to follow boys   we scorn to flyeIt is in vainI mean not to upbraid you boysIt is in vainfor a soldier to Complain   for the next Campaign   we go to him that made us boys   free from all pain   But if you should Remain   A Bottle and kind Landlady   will Cure all againfrom Contentment, Jim DouglasCollected from notebook of Thos.
