The yellow fever was raging	A
Down in the sunny south	B
And in many of the cities	C
There was a death at every house	D
This plague a war was raging	A
With the lives of people there	E
The young and old were stricken down	F
And lay in sad despair	E
	-
No comfort all was misery	G
In many a southern home	H
Where once was peace and quietness	I
Now in distress are thrown	J
For death the house has visited	K
And caused the inmates to mourn	L
The loss of some dear loving friend	M
That on earth no more shall roam	H
	-
Some people in delirium	N
Have wandered from their home	H
Have wandered to a vacant house	D
And there have died alone	J
With no kind friend to care for them	O
Or close their dying eyes	P
Oh God in horrid misery	G
Hundreds of people died	Q
	-
There were many whole families	C
Taken down sick in a day	R
With no one to care for them	O
In death they passed away	R
Their spirits arose to God above	S
Where sickness is no more	T
Where peace and comfort ever reign	U
On Heaven's blissful shore	T
	-
There is many a southern city	G
To day is filled with woe	V
And many of the inhabitants	W
Have wandered to and fro	V
To nurse the sick and dying	A
The dead for the grave prepare	E
They tried to do their duty	G
With hearts filled with despair	E
	-
The Howard Association	X
Have been doing all they can	Y
To keep the quot plague quot from raging	A
Throughout the southern land	Z
They nursed the sick they fed the poor	A2
They work both night and day	R
This brave band in the southern scourge	B2
Heroic courage display	R
	-
This noble band of charity	G
Have went from house to house	D
To ease the sad misery of	S
The sufferers at the south	B
Sad scenes of death and suffering	A
Each day they must endure	C2
As in the daily rounds they went	D2
Among the afflicted poor	A2
	-
The noble northern people	E2
Have helped them all they can	Y
In money food and clothing	A
Which they had at their command	Z
There is many a southern person	X
That will bless this Howard band	Z
For their noble deeds of charity	G
To the sufferers of their land	Z
