1874 The American Bar-Tender or The Art and Mystery of Mixing Drinks by E A Simmons

GOLDIERg' AND SAILOES* TOASTS. Onr Oaptain—The ^varm reception given by our hospitable commander will ever brighten our recollections of tha excursion. The moon on tha ocean was dimmed by a ripple, Affording a checquered light, When tha giy, jolly tars, passed the word for a tipple And the toast, for'twas Saturday night, ' Some sweetheai't or wife Ho loved as his life. Each drank and wished ho c'onld hail her.

But tha sbxnding toast. That pleased the most, "Was—The wind that blows. The ship that goes,

And the girl that loves a sailor. Some drink the land,some her'brave shipg, And some the Constitution, Some, may tha foe and nil such rips. Yield to Yankee resolution; Thatfate might bless W' Borne Poll or Bess, And that they soon might hail her. Butthe standing toast. &o, Some drmk the flag, and some our land. "^elorious laud of freedom. Som^ that our tars may never want Heroes brave to lead'em:
