AndyG Salvation Army comic song (56* d) Lyr Add: THE LICENCED SALOON^^ 07 Jul 98


And just for balance, here's a real temperance song.

THE LICENCED SALOON

Where is my wandering boy tonight,
Down in the licenced saloon.
Down in a room all cosy and bright,
Filled with the glare of many a light,
Beautiful music the ear to delight,
Down in the licenced saloon.
CH

There is my wandering boy tonight,
There is my wandering boy tonight,
Down, down, down, down,
Down in the licenced saloon.
Where is my wandering boy tonight,
Down in the licenced saloon.
Learning new vices all the night long,
Tempted to all that's sinful and wrong,
Listening to the harlot's foul song,
Down in the licenced saloon.
CH

Where is my wandering boy tonight,
Down in the licenced saloon.
Little arms once were thrown round my neck,
Look at him now my poor heart will break,
Pity that boy tonight a sad wreck,
Down in the licenced saloon.
CH

Where is my wandering boy tonight,
Down in the licenced saloon.
Brother I guess you'd enter that fight,
If it were your boy down there tonight,
Ruined and wrecked by the drink appetite,
Down in the licenced saloon.
CH

AndyG ^^
