As he was sitting there eating something he was drinking punch. I suspect the punch was strong liquor. Here is a traditional Irish song sung by most Irish folk singers as well as Donovan Leitch (from Wales)
Jug of Punch
G
As I was sitting with Jug and spoon
D G
One fine morning in the month of June
C
A small bird sat on an ivy bunch
G D7 G
And the song he sang was the jug of punch.
Chorus:
G
Too-rah-loo-rah-loo, Too-rah-loo-rah-lay
D G
Too-rah-loo-rah-loo, Too-rah-loo-rah-lay
C
A small bird sat on an ivy bush
G C D7 G
And the song he sang was the jug of punch.
(NOTE: last 2 lines of each verse are the last lines of its chorus)
G
If I were sick and in my bed
D G
And was not able to go or stand
C
I would not think it at all amiss
G C D7 G
To pledge my shoes for a jug of punch. CHORUS
G
The learned doctors with all their art
D G
Cannot cure the impression that's on the heart
C
Even the cripple forgets his hunch
G C D7 G
When he's safe outside with a jug of punch...CHORUS
G
What more diversion can a man desire
D G
Than to sit him down by a neat turf fire
C
Upon his knee a pretty wench
G C D7 G
And upon the table a jug of punch...CHORUS
G
And when I'm dead and in my grave
D G
No costly tomb stone will I have
C
Just lay me down in my native peat
G C D7 G
With a jug of punch at my head and feet.
...CHORUS
