[Hurrah for the temperance cause]

[_]

Tune—Bonnett's 'o Blue.

Hurrah for the temperance cause,
It is well to abide by her laws;
It is well to support Washingtonian's cause
And to shun old king alcohol's jaws.

Chorus.

Then hurrah for the temperance cause,
It is well to abide by her laws;
It is well to support the Washingtonion's cause
And to shun old king alcohol's jaws.

38

Come friends one, and all now and sign;
Your cups, and your bowls now resign;
Come up and enroll, on the temperance scroll,
And never drink brandy nor wine.
Then hurrah, &c.
Come up now and give us your name;
Sure no one can hold thee to blame;
For blending thy name with the temperance fame
And resolving to stick to the same.
Then hurrah, &c.
