A SOBER SPOUSE FOR ME A fire-Side Temperance Song (Beware! Anti-Wassail Content!) abcs and midi/notation link below.... Some love to stroll where the wassail bowl and the wine cups circle free None of all that band 'ere shall win my hand No a sober spouse for me Where the wine cups circle free None of all that band ere shall win my hand No a sober spouse for me. Like cheerful streams when the morning beams. With him my life would flow. Not down the crags the drunkard drags His wife to shame and wo. Not down the crags the drunkard drags His wife to shame and wo. No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No!No! No! No! No! Some love to stroll Where the wassail bowl And the wine cups circle free; None of all that band ere shall win my hand No! a sober spouse for me. No! a sober spouse for me. No!a sober spouse for me The drunkard mark, at midnight dark Oh! What a sight, good luck! From fumes of beer and wine appear Grim fiends who cross his track; His children's name he dooms to shame His wife to want and wo; She is betrayed for wine is made Her rival and her foe Still some will stroll where the wassail bowl And the wine cups circle free None of that band ere shall win my hand No a sober spouse for me- &c&c&c… Words by George P Morris Music by H.
