The Next Morning.

Topics: classic

What a difference in the morning         When you try to raise your head;      When your eyelids seem so heavy         You could swear they were of lead;      When your tongue is thickly coated         And you have an awful thirst;      When you drink so much cold water         That you feel about to burst;      When you lift your hand towards heaven         And solemnly do say:      "I'm going to 'cut out' drinking         And I'll swear off right to-day."
