Here's another echte temperance song:
I'm a young abstainer, from drinking customs free;
if others choose the drunkard's cup, cold water give to me.
REFRAIN:
Clear cold water, that's the drink for me;
I'm a young abstainer, from drinking customs free.
The drunkard is a foolish man; when he goes on the streets,
he is pointed at with scorn by everyone he meets.
(REFRAIN)
The drunkard is a careless man, he throws his cash away;
he does not save his money up against an evil day.
(REFRAIN)
The drunkard is a cruel man, and thus we often see
his wretched wife and family in rags and misery.
(REFRAIN)
