This is called the" Watchtower & Awake" Song
Sung to the tune of "Sweet Violets."The 2nd & 4th line of each stanza have an implied rhyme,indicated by the ( )
that goes with the last word on the 1st & 3rd line But instead of giving you the rhyming word you would expect ,The next line goes off in a differant direction.
There once was an elder who stood at my door,
He said I was wicked ,my wife was a ( )
postate & both of us might just as well
resign from the Watchtower & go straight to ( )
bed without dinner for doubting their word,
that everything God said was written-in- the
Watchtower an Awake
5 cents a copy ...
If you don't believe it you surely will die,
Don't mis an issue of the Watchtower an" Awake
I've gone to the meetings since I was a lad
but t'wasnt till later I learned I'd been ( )
spending my life in a rat-race of works,
thinking that all other Christians were ( )
very nice people ,though in Satan's power,
who'd only be saved if they'd just read the
Watchtower & Awake
4 bits a copy
Thank Jimmie Swaggert we now give 'em free
We pay no taxes on Watchtower an Awake
In "Seventy-five,they expected the end
A promise so certain that we should de-( )
lay all our pleasures & put life on hold
forget about pensions,we'd never get ( )
weary of preaching,'cause we knew for sure,
that what God confided they'd put in the
Watchtower & Awake...
Announcing God's Kingdom.
If it's revised,we'll keep you advised
Keep up to date with the Watchtower an Awake
In seventy -nine some in Brooklyn did get
in trouble for reading & not knowing ( )
that it was bad to read Bibles at home.
For soon you'd be rabid & your mouth would ( )
start telling others the fact from God's word,
instead of the present truth found in the
Watchtower an Awake
Read every issue
Don't criticize what you read with your eyes,
Keep in lock-step with the Watchtower & Awake
