Washingtonian Song

Of all the causes East or West I love the Temperance Cause the best-- I love its cheerful greetings: No joys on earth can e'er be found, Like those pure pleasures which abound At Washingtonian meetings. Of all the people, East or West, I love the Temperance men the best, I love their noble spirit! In generous deeds, not words, they deal; They have at heart the poor man's weal-- All praise their efforts merit. To all the world I give my hand-- My heart is with that noble band, The Washingtonian Brothers. God speed and prosper every plan Whose basis is the good of man, But this before all others.
