Rum by Gum

Rum by Gum known as “The Song of the Salvation Army”, or “The Song of the Temperance Union”. Dating back to at least 1941, and possibly the nineteenth century, it probably began as a serious temperance song, but is now generally known in one of a number of satirical versions. It has been recorded by Theodore Bikel and The Chad Mitchell Trio and alonzogarbanzo. There have been many verses added over the years. I’ve selected several of them, but there are plenty more around.
