let the glory of the lord |
| [00:06.000] |
We're coming, we're coming, our brave little band |
| [00:09.400] |
On the right side of temperance we do take our stand |
| [00:13.100] |
We don't use tobacco, because we do think |
| [00:18.550] |
The people who use it are likely to drink |
| [00:22.366] |
Away, away with rum by gum, with rum by gum, with rum by gum |
| [00:30.111] |
Away, away with rum by gum, the song of the Salvation Army |
| [00:41.266] |
We never eat cookies because they have yeast |
| [00:45.029] |
And one little bite turns a man to a beast |
| [00:48.897] |
Oh, can you imagine a sadder disgrace |
| [00:53.949] |
Than a man in the gutter with crumbs on his face |
| [00:57.485] |
Away, away with rum by gum, with rum by gum, with rum by gum |
| [01:05.005] |
Away, away with rum by gum, the song of the Salvation Army |
| [01:16.418] |
We don't allow backrubs, we think they're a crime |
| [01:20.089] |
We will always condemn them in song or in rhyme |
| [01:23.845] |
An alcohol backrubs is worse than straight gin: |
| [01:28.815] |
When you think of the liquor absorbed thru your skin! |
| [01:32.428] |
Away, away with rum ,woke up brothers and sisters , woke up and repents |
| [01:40.112] |
Away, away with rum by gum, the song of the Salvation Army |
| [01:51.437] |
We never eat fruit cake because it has rum |
| [01:55.332] |
And one little taste turns a man to a bum |
| [01:58.999] |
Oh, can you imagine a sorrier sight |
| [02:03.766] |
Than a man eating fruit cake until he gets tight |
| [02:07.703] |
Away, away with rum by gum, with rum by gum, with rum by gum |
| [02:15.448] |
Away, away with rum by gum, the song of the Salvation Army |
