A song for the grand old Temp’rance tree,
That is bearing goodly fruit!
Its blessings ev’ry where we see,
We praise it, branch and root.
We’ll plant it wherever rum shops are,
In our native land so far,
Till its noble branches spread afar
On the golden sunny air!
Oh! we’ll gather round
The Temp’rance tree,
And sing our songs of joy.
Till the viper that is in the cup
Shall no more destroy!
Till the viper that is in the cup,
Shall no more destroy!
