Keep Your Spirits Up

Oh keep your spirits up
the hardest thing in life
but easier enough
when I am with my wife

For many issues vow
to put my heart to test
but she will sit me down
and lay my mind to rest

Oh once I was alone
and got along quite well
but everyone needs company
when waning is their well

And easy is it for a lucky
soul such as myself
abundant in good loving
in good times and in good health

So vow to me my son
to always keep your spirits up
for happiness befalls the man
who knows to ride his luck

And though I am content
I know that two is less than three
for one day I will make you
and that day you will make me
