GUEST,Dingus MacDangle	Origins: Salvation Army/Throw a Nickel on the Drum (55* d)	RE: Origins: Salvation Army/Throw a Nickel on the Drum	04 Jun 09
When I was at Yale, we sang a version that I remember as follows (there may have been other verses), which was associated with a drinking ritual at Mory's: I was lying in the gutter I was covered with beer, Pretzels in my moustache, I thought the end was near, Then along came [NAME], and saved me from sin! Glory, glory, hallelujah, hip, hooray, Amen! Sing hallelujah, sing hallelujah, Put a nickel on the drum! Save another drunken bum! Sing hallelujah, sing hallelujah, Put a nickel on the drum and you'll be saved! I am h-a-p-p-y to be f-r-e-e F-r-e-e, for I'm s-a-v-e-d! S-a-v-e-d, from the bonds of s-i-n! Glory, glory, hallelujah, hip, hooray, Amen! Sing hallelujah, sing hallelujah, Put a nickel on the drum! Save another drunken bum! Sing hallelujah, sing hallelujah, Put a nickel on the drum and you'll be saved!
