Jack Horntip Origin: Away, Away with Rum, by Gum (111* d) RE: Origin: Away, Away with Rum, by Gum 16 Apr 25


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
