Some enterprising peopleB
In our cities and townsC
Have gone to organizing clubsD
Of men that's fallen downE
In estimation fallen lowF
Now they may rise againG
And be respected citizensH
Throughout our native landI
-
CHORUSJ
-
The temperance reform clubK
Forever may it standI
And everyone that loves strong drinkL
Pray join it heart and handI
Then many a home will be brightM
And many a heart made gladN
It will be the greatest blessingO
This nation ever hadN
-
Manufacturers of strong drinkL
Can find better employP
Than bring to ruin poor familiesQ
And thousand souls destroyP
Likewise proprietors of saloonsR
Lose many a customerS
Those men now rather stay at homeT
That place they now preferS
-
ChorusJ
-
Don't be ashamed to wear your badgeU
Of ribbon on your breastV
It shows you've joined the club to beW
A man among the restV
Your kindred friends will love to seeW
You honored sober manX
And all the friends that wish you wellY
Will help you if they canX

Perhaps you have a motherS
Likewise a sister tooZ
Perhaps you have a sweetheartA2
That thinks the most of youZ
Perhaps you have a loving wifeB2
And little ones at homeT
Their hearts rejoice to see that youZ
Can let strong drink aloneC2
-
ChorusJ
-
Many a man joined the clubK
That never drank a drachmT
Those noble men were kind and braveD2
They care not for the slangE2
The slang they meet on every sideF2
You're a reform drunkard tooZ
You've joined the red ribbon brigadeG2
Among the drunkard crewZ
-
ChorusJ
-
It shows their hearts were very kindH2
They wish to save poor soulsI2
That loved the intoxication cupJ2
That signed the temperance rollK2
Dear friends ever keep rollingO
The work you have begunL2
Those noble men will not repentM2
I hope throughout our landI
-
ChorusJ
-
Dr Reynolds is a noble manX
He has worked hard to saveD2
Some people in our cities and townsC
From out a drunkard's graveD2
There is other men to help him nowN2
He lectures not aloneC2
Many a heart that blesses themT
From out now happy homesO2
