All this for gold.
All this for the gold that gstens for day and is gone
Women are the slaves who bring the money that buys
the gems their masters wear.
The white slave pays for the wine they guzzle and for
the food they eat to give them strength to beat their
Tins when earnings small.
Where is the modern knight who will set the white
slave free7
Men who have wives, why are you voiceless?
Men who have sweethears why are you silent?
Men who have daughters, pure and beautiful how can
you fold your hands?
Little Bertha Claiche French girl untaught unclean
has drawn the curtain that you all may Men of Amer

Where is the boosted gallantry of Americas sons?

There is the power of law. Why stand you idle9
The law vgilant, wakefu purified, is the sword that
