Thread Name: Origin: Away, Away with Rum, by Gum
Subject: RE: Origin - Away away with rum
Same as already posted: (Only one word different from yours)

Away, away with rum, by gum
With rum, by gum, with rum, by gum
Away, away with rum, by gum
That's the song of the Salvation Army


I have remembered the whole verse now:

We never eat biscuits, cos biscuits have yeast
And one little bite turns a man to a beast
Can you imagine the shame and disgrace
To be found in the gutter with crumbs on your face
