A little tipsy, talking of his griefs.

The conductor put him off here, being drunk.

And so these fellows for election day

Took him in hand and voted him around,

This was the talk.

Look at the curse of drink!

If he had touched no drink, he had not been

Tipsy to fall into these ruffian hands,

Who gave him drink and drink and used him thus

To violate the suffrage, lose his life
