This temperance songster is one of the many publications that The National Temperance Society and Publication House distributed. They are best known for their three main magazines "The National Temperance Advocate", "The Youth's Temperance Banner" and "The Water Lily"; but they also published thousands of books, pamphlets, songs, posters and flyers all promoting the temperance movement. This particular song has a child's feel with its silly nature and rhymes.
