Memorial Day Weekend Riding

Just in case you didn't know...The original British song as you have just heard was usually sung in pubs in England as well as on shipboard, as well as in the English Colonies, and it was singing about and praising the degradations and the less than virtuous bouts of drinking and "carousing" around with women in brothels, euphemistically also referring to Venus, goddess of love, and Bacchus, god of wine and lacivious behaviour.
