900 Year-Tfibute From His Brewer
Where does wise man spend his time?
Not in the beer saloon.
Where are we safe from vice and crime?
Not in the beer saloon.
Lost ones plodding their fatal way,
Trace their sorrows to that dark day
When they were tempted first to stray
Into the beer saloon.
Where is the role of duty learned?
Not in the beer saloon.
Where is the right to manhood earned?
Not in the beer saloon.
Only the slave of the pewter pot
The lover of rags and a wretched lot,
The idle hand and the hopeless sot,
Go to the beer saloon.
Where would you seek faithful wife?
Not IN the beer saloon.
Where would you look for blameless life! !
Not in the beer saloon.
Many wife and maiden rare,
Knew no wrong till they entered there;
Many a renutation fair
Lost in the beer saloon.
Where can old age its solace find! -
Not in the beer saloon.
Where NAV our youth improve the mind?
Not in the beer saloon.
Man and woman and lad and lass,
Strive these temples of sin to pass,
Danger turks in the fatal glass
Keep from the beer saloon.
