FArewell good company, now I must leave you all: It hath bred my misery, and brought me into thrall. But now I will refraine and drink strong Ale no more, Ile seeke to purchase gaine, and quite forsake a Whore. Good-fellowes great and small, pray let me you advise, To have a care withall, tis good to be merry and wise. Now I have spent my meanes, and have no money to pay, Im quite bereft of friends, which breeds my sad annoy: But while I had silver and gold to pay for them and me, Then many have me told I was brave company. Good-fellowes, etc. But now they me despise, and aske what make you here: Therefore Ile now grow wise, and will live void of feare: I can get money enough when I doe seeke for it, Wert not for drink and snuffe, that robs me of my wit. Good-fellowes etc. Strong drinke I will refuse, for it hath done me wrong, It hath made me abuse my selfe with hand and tongue, When I have beene in drinke I had no care at all, Nor did I ever thinke upon my owne downefall. Good-fellowes, etc.
I still crid fill the Pot, whilst all my mony was gone, And did pay many a shot for others as tis well knowne: And they gave me faire words, whilst I could still doe so: But now their tongs are swords, from whence envie doth flow. Good-fellowes, etc. My good will is repaid with envie, hate, and spite, Some of them snares have laid to take me with deceit, They laugh at my downefall, as plainely I doe prove, Scarce any of them all repay me any love. Good-fellowes, etc. Had I knowne this before. while I had money and means, I had kept some in store, but I was shallow braines. For which some call me Asse, to spend my meanes away: Now I may feed on grasse, or freely fast and pray. Good-fellowes, etc. The time hath beene that I could not have past by th doores, But as I walked by such company as rores, Would cause me to sit downe, and welcome should be made: But many times a crowne, for such welcomes I payd. Good-fellowes great and small, pray let me you advise, To have a care withall, tis good to be merry and wise.

TObacco, Ale, and Beere, for me was brought amaine, With Wine and dainty cheere, servd in with Venus traine. Looke what I wished to have, they did fulfill my minde, Most dainty words they gave, which made me think them kind. Good-fellowes great and small, pray let me you advise, To have a care withall, tis good to be merry and wise. But now the proverbs true, twas money was my friend, For having none I rue, theres none will give nor lend. They say the world is hard, and that I finde indeed, For none doe me regard, now I am in most need. Good-fellowes, etc. If I to th Alehouse goe, and call for Ale or Beere, My Hostesse soone will know my stock for shes in feare. If I call but two pots, and pay not presently, Then quickly for her shots, she will begin to cry. Good-fellowes, etc. But I doe know her mind, tis money she would see, And then she will prove kind, or else a Divell is she. For those that have no money shall be thrust out of doores, For such poore men as I sheel not trust on the scores. Good-fellowes, etc. When I had money good store, and had no need at all, Then I might freely score, what-ever I did call. But now I am in want of Money, Bread, and Beere, At me sheel loudly taunt, and aske, What make you here: Good-fellowes, etc.
Now I repent too late, I cannot call againe My money and estate, that I have spent in vaine: I must take an new course, and seeke to get some more, But yet sometimes of force, my miseries I deplore. Good-fellowes great, etc. Some wonder now at me, and say I am growne strange, But they shall plainely see that I my life will change. For Ile not spend a peny amongst the drunken crue, O I have spent too many, that makes me have so few. Good-fellowes, etc. Had I done so in time, I ner had knowne such want, But I with each would joyne, theres nothing could me daunt. I never tooke no care what ere my friends did say: But whats falln to my share, even griefe and sad annoy. Good-fellowes, etc. But now I will amend my lewd lascivious life, For now I doe intend to be ruled by my Wife. O shes a loving soule, as ever poore man had, For her the Bell did toule, and I vile knave was glad. Good-fellowes, etc. But now shes well againe, and will not die this fit, She shall have to maintaine her, all that I can get. To conclude, Ile take paines, next Munday Ile begin, This Song it appertaines to Women, and to Men. Good-fellowes great and small, pray let me you advise, To have a care withall, tis good to be merry and wise.
