Drive Dull Care Away

Drive Dull Care Away - Joe Hickerson

Why should we of our lot complain

Or grieve at our distress

Some think if they could riches gain

T'would be true happiness

Alas in vain is all their strife

Life's cares will not allay

So while we're here with our friends so dear

We'll drive dull care away

Away away away away

We will drive dull care away

And while we're here with our friends so dear

We'll drive dull care away

Why should the rich despise the poor

Why should the poor repine

While we shall in a few short years

In equal friendship join'

They're both to blame they're all the same

We are all made of one clay

So while we're here with our friends so dear

We'll drive dull care away

Away away away away

We will drive dull care away

And while we're here with our friends so dear

We'll drive dull care away

The only circumstance in life

That I could ever find

To conquer care and temper strife

Was a contented mind

With this in store we have much more

Than all things else can convey

So while we're here with our friends so dear

We'll drive dull care away

Away away away away

We will drive dull care away

And while we're here with our friends so dear

We'll drive dull care away

So let us make the best of life

Not rendering it a curse

But take it as you would a wife

For better or for worse

Life at it's best is but a jest

Like a dreary winter's day

So while we're here with our friends so dear

We'll drive dull care away

Away away away away

We will drive dull care away

And while we're here with our friends so dear

We'll drive dull care away

Away away away away

We will drive dull care away

And while we're here with our friends so dear

We'll drive dull care away
