In Loving Memory, Gilbert Buffrey, Commodore Emeritus, SFVYC
I never eat cookies, cause they contain yeast
and one little bite turns a man to a beast
oh, can you imagine the terrible disgrace
of a man in the gutter with crumbs on his face
Away, away with rum by gum, with rum by gum with rum by gum
Away, away with rum by gum, the song of the temperance union
I never eat fruitcake, cause it contains rum
and one little bite turns a man to a bum
oh can you imagine the terrible strife
of a man eating fruitcake until he gets tight
Away, away, etc
A non drinking song
Fair Winds, Old Salt
