Along in November, when chill was the weather,
Two ballots was cast in a
box together;
They nestled right up close like brolher an' brother,
You couldn't tell one
of these votes from the other.
They was both rum votes,
An' sanctioned the license
plan;
But one was cast by a jolly old brewer,
An' one by a Sunday school
man.
The Sunday school man --- no man could be truer,
Kept busy all summer
denouncin' the brewer;
But his temper cooled off with the change in the weather,
An' late
in the fall they both voted together.
The Sunday school man has allus been noted
For
fightin' saloons --- except when he voted;
He piled up his prayers with a holy
perfection,
But he knocked 'em all down on the day of election.
The cunnin' old brewer was
cheerful an' meller,
Says he, "I admire this Sunday school feller,
He's true to his
church, to his party he's truer
He talks for the Lord, but he votes for the
brewer!"
From Ozark Folksongs, Vance. Collected from Leone Duval, MO 1925.
