On Christmas at nine o'clock,

and Columbus with the chair,
"There is one that I do know,
You drink to save your own."

And him on the ground to die.

Except the governor him pray.
Young men, take warning by case,
Don't use strong drink in life's race.
Leave all such stuff far behind,
And your parents you should mind.
