1930 The Saloon in the Home

AWAY THE BOWL-WE'LL NEVER DRINK C OME, all dear children, gather round, And sober learn to be; The surest way at length we've found– Teetotal, safe and free.

CHORUS

We're marching through teetotal ground, To spread it's lessons all around; And then we all shall sober be And never drink the bane. Girls.-What! Never, never drink'? Boys.-No ! Never drink the bane! We're marching through teetotal ground, We'll never drink the bane. Each drunken man was once, 'tis true, A sober little boy; Oh then, dear youth, and maiden too, Teetotal sign with joy.

CHORUS

Though parents bid us sip their beer, And friends and masters too, We will not drink, we need not fear, But boldly answer no.
