BILLY. No, no; fall into line. (Song; "The Salvation Army, Oh!" Price 40 cents, obtainable of the publishers.) BILLY.Salvation Billy is my name; To seek my fortune out West I came; To make some money now is my game, So I join the Salvation Army, Oh-- (Chorus.) Away, away with rum by gum; Here we come with fife and drum, A regular sort of a "lum tum tum." We belong to the Salvation Amry, Oh -- TRISS.Our Army is small, as you can see; There's only Billy, the Judge, and me, But we holler and shout for the jubilee-- We're a dandy Salvation Army, Oh-- ((Chorus.) JUDGE.I'm a funny old fakir, as you can see, To be travelling around with this Ar-mi-ee; I'm drunk from my head to the sole of my boots, From handling so much of the laws statoots. See here: T'riss; Or, Beyond the Rockies by Justin Adams. 1889
