Tune: The Girl I left behind Me

Salvationists

Oh let the weather be ever so rough and the wind ever so stormy
I'll stick to my post like a brave old tart
For I've joined the Salvation Army

My father had an old grey horse he bought off Mr Grundy
Tobias rode him all the week and Angus on a Sunday
(spoken: not long after this the old couple died)
They left their farm and the daughter left to be his bride.
