King Alcohol is Going.

10

BY CHARLES MARSH.
TUNE — My Bible leads to Glory.

King Alcohol is going,
King Alcohol is going,
King Alcohol is going
To leave this blessed land.

Sing on, shout on, every Washingtonian,
Sing on, work on, and bless the happy day.

His reign has been so fearful,
His reign has been so fearful,
His reign has been so fearful
That we will all rejoice.

Sing on, &c.

His former friends desert him,
His former friends desert him,
His former friends desert him
"As rats a falling house."

Sing on, &c.

He lost his crown in Baltimore,
He lost his crown in Baltimore,
He lost his crown in Baltimore
By Mitchell's noble band.

Sing on, &c.

His robe is torn and tattered,
His iron arm is shattered,
His army is all scattered,
And soon we'll have his sword.

Sing on, &c.

We'll grieve no more in sadness,
We'll shout with joy and gladness,
The song of love and goodness
Upon our sinful earth.

Sing on; &c.

11

Then sign, O sign, my mother,
My father, sister, brother,
And thus sustain each other
Upon the Temperance Pledge.

Sing on, &c.
