The Way of Happiness

b"The Way of Happiness is about Drinking. In this song the main character sees a light in the window of the house where his true Love lives. He knows he should go to her to show her his affection and for the comfort of them both. Instead he is drawn by the pint there in his Father's old flask and for whatever irrational reason, he would rather get drunk alone than explore Love.\\n\\nThe Way of Happiness\\nWords & Music by John Barrett & JW Brown\\n\\nThere\\u2019s a light in her window this evening\\nBut there\\u2019s a pint here in Daddy\\u2019s old flask\\nI should go to her yes, but it\\u2019s here that I\\u2019ll stay\\nFor The Way of Happiness\\nFor The Way of Happiness\\n\\nYou know the prince and the pauper they\\u2019ll forever get alone\\nGive a pint to them each and they\\u2019re blessed\\nBut the lovers they leave, ah forever will grieve!\\nFor The Way of Happiness\\nFor The Way of Happiness\\n\\nSo with Daddy\\u2019s old pint for my courage\\nAnd with Mother\\u2019s fine locked up old locket\\nI went off to uncover the secret \\nTo The Way of Happiness\\nThe Way of Happiness\\n\\n\\tAnd Love it meant, Love is meant for You\\n\\tAnd Love is meant, Love is meant for me too\\n\\tSo lay down your bloody arms lads and raise your pint true\\n\\tFor Love is meant, Love is meant for you\\n\\tAnd Love is meant for me too\\n\\nHere\\u2019s to my friends and the last time I saw them\\nTo good luck when I thought it would last\\nTo the lassie who passed me and threw me a kiss\\nTo The Way of Happiness\\nTo The Way of Happiness\\n\\nThere\\u2019s a light in her window this evening\\nBut there\\u2019s a pint here in Daddy\\u2019s old flask"
