The man of God stands on the Sabbath day	A
Warning the sinners from the broad highway	A
That leads to death He rolls his pious eye	B
And tells how wily demons hidden lie	B
To spring upon the thoughtless souls who pass	C
Along He lifts his hands and cries 'Alas	C
That such things be O sinners pause	C
Gird on God's armor let the devil see	C
Thou hast espoused a high and holy cause	C
And all his arts are powerless on thee '	D
	-
	-
'Tis thus the man of God in warning cries	C
And tears of heart felt sorrow fill his eyes	C
And then he doffs his surplice and his gown	E
And calls for wine to wash his sorrow down	E
Ah follower of the meek and lowly One	F
And is it thus that thou wouldst have men shun	F
The road to death Is this the better way	A
Of which thou tellest on the Sabbath day	A
This wine you sip to quench your pious thirst	G
Of all the devil's arts he reckons first	G
And countless legions go down to the dead	H
Slain soul and body by the demon red	H
Is this the holy principle you teach	I
Or shall men practise while you only preach	I

The righteous churchman reads a tale of strife	J
One of those countless tragedies of city life	J
He sighs and shakes his head and sighs again	K
And thanks his God he's not as other men	K
And then he sips his glass of ale or rum	L
And wonders if the time shall ever come	L
When such things cease to be I answer 'When	K
You who bear the names of Christian men	K
Shall with your wines and ales and beers dispense	C
And choose the motto 'Total Abstinence ''	-

	-
The politician sighs at the nation's debt	M
And groans at his heavy tax And yet	M
He calls his jolly friends from near and far	N
And does not sigh or groan before the bar	N
But 'treats' them with a free and lavish hand	O
Thus swelling the liquor tax upon the land	O
And so the world goes and will always go	P
As long as fools live And their lives are long	Q
As all may see who look around and so	P
I'll let it waggle on and cease my song	Q
Hoping 'gainst hope that some poor struggling ray	A
Of common sense may find its weary way	A
Into the stupid hearts and brains of those	C
Who prate of any evil this world knows	C
And sip their wines and beer and say to men	K
'We only drink a little now and then '	-
