09 Jan 12 - 05:49 PM (#3287749) Subject: Lyr Add: OH, I AM A TEMPERANCE MAN From: Jim Dixon Chico's link leads to a page from a book, The Temperance Songster by Nathaniel Saunders (Providence, RI: Handy & Higgins, 1867), page 45: 99 Tune—Miss Bundy's Wedding. [1] Oh, I am a Temperance man, And my heart is filled with glee, For I've signed the temperance pledge, And from alcohol I'm free: I'll never touch or taste The poisoned cup again; From all that can intoxicate Forever I'll abstain; For I am a temperance man, &c. [2] Since I put my name to the pledge, The pimples have left my nose, And, instead of having rags to my back, I now have plenty of clothes: I once had but one meal a day, And sometimes I got none; But now, although I always eat three, Yet in debt I never run; For I am a temperance man, &c. [3] When I drank rum, the pretty girls With me could not agree; But now I stick to the temp'rance pledge, And they all stick to me: Once people all looked black at me, And called me drunken Jake; But now they touch their hats, and say, Your servant, Mr. Blake; For I am a temperance man, &c. [4] Then haste ye, all, and quickly sign Our pledge of liberty, And break the chains of alcohol, And be forever free: Then gather round your social hearths, And hymns of gladness sing, For alcohol is at last dethroned, And is no longer king. For we are temperance men, &c. ---- Apart from this song, I can't find any place where "Miss Bundy's Wedding" is mentioned. |
