Irish Song Lyrics - Drunk Last Night and Sixpence

Drunk Last Night (shout DRUNK THE NIGHT BEFORE)
Gonna get drunk tonight (LIKE WE NEVER GOT DRUNK BEFORE)
'cause when we're drunk, we're happy as can be
we are the members of the _________ family
oh the ___________ family is the best family
that ever came over, across the bloody sea
singin' glorious (GLORIOUS)
one keg of beer for the four of us
and glory be there ain't no more of us
'cause one of us can drink it all alone (ALL ALONE) or (BY MYSELF)
all alone (ALL ALONE) or (BY MYSELF)
all alone (ALL ALONE) or (BY MYSELF)
one of us can drink it all alone (ALL ALONE) or (BY MYSELF)
and glory be there ain't no more of us
'cause one of us can drink it all alone (ALL ALONE) or (BY MYSELF)

I've got sixpence, jolly, jolly sixpence
I've got sixpence, to last me all my life
I've got sixpence to spend, I've got sixpence to lend
but nuppence to send home to my wife (POOR WIFE)
no cares have I to grieve me, no pretty little girls to deceive me
I'm happy as a king, believe me, as we go rolling, rolling home (ROLLING HOME)
rolling home (ROLLING HOME)
rolling home (ROLLING HOME)
by the light of the silvery moon
happy is the day when the soldier gets his pay
as we go rolling, rolling home (ROLLING HOME)
