      Wine flowing in the veins

      Wind flowing in the bottom of the barrel

      Every thought intervenes

      Every mind like a sparrow

      Flies away far to flute

      Sounds make it free

      All I wish for is your tune

      That will set my soul a free

      I’m going home to stay

      Every melody of mine

      Is like sip of fresh brewed pint

      And I take myself back

      To the place where is no lack

      It’s greatest tune of all

      Tune of soul going home

      Tune of merit and of pint

      I ask politely, please,

      Let me be without grease,

      I return back to my home

      Where there is no need to swear

      I belong on my own bed
