History is reflected in the words of folk songs

   Oil of Barley - - There's a lusty liquor which - Good fellows use to take-a, - It is distill'd with nard most rich, - And water of the lake-a; - Of hop a little quantity, - And barm to it they bring too; - Being barrell'd up, they call't a cup - Of dainty good old stingo. - 2. 'Twill make a man indentures make - 'Twill make a fool seem wise, - 'Twill make a Puritan sociate, - And leave to be precise; - 'Twill make him dance about a cross, - And eke to run the ring too, - Or anything he once thought gross, - Such virtue hath old stingo. - - 3. 'Twill make a constable over see - Sometimes to serve a warrant; - 'Twill make a bailiff lose his fee, - Though he be a knave-arrant; - 'Twill make a lawyer, though that he - To ruin oft men brings, too, - Sometimes forget to take his fee - If his head be lin'd with stingo.
