GUEST,Mike Yates Baptist Sunday School words offensive? (111* d) ADD: The Grand Salvation Meeting 03 Oct 25


I suppose some people could be offended by this song, which came from a Kentish singer Fred Cottenham.

THE GRAND SALVATION MEETING

Now, come kind friends and brother Smuts, what a glorious time will be,
A grand salvation meeting, we're going to have a tea,
There'll be ham, lamb, slam and jam, and the price will be one bob,
And I've got to act as chairman and be fairly on the job.

Chorus:
Oh, then we'll have some fun, et cetera, et cetera,
Brandy, tea and rum, et cetera, et cetera,
Ham, lamb, slam and jam, et cetera, et cetera,
We're going to have another, won't you come, come, come.

At a half past four we all sat down, brother Smuts said grace,
Someone upped with a piece of pork and slapped it in his face,
This pork it had some mustard on which made our brother sore,
Then someone upped with a coal scuttle until our parents roared.

Chorus:

We all had a band of music, a fiddle and a drum,
After tea was over, we rinsed our lips with rum,
We had a game of kissing ring and all things for a lark,
Then someone put out all the lights and left us in the dark.
