They were singing hymns and preaching in the street,

A lady came and shook me by the hand,

And whispered words of piety so sweet;

I squeezed her little fingers rather tight,

And tried to kiss her lovely face so fair,

But she said, if you will come to our sweet Salvation home,

You will know what it is to be there.

(Chorus.)—To be there, &c.

I very soon began to preach and prate,

And with the sisters played some funny pranks,
