Oh Edmund you look so pleasant now
Your clothes look neat and clean
I haven't seen you drink a drop
Pray tell me where you've been
Your wife and children, are they well?
You used to treat them strange
But are you kinder to them now?
How came this happy change?

I had a dream, a warning dream
That heaven sent to me
It warned me of a drunkard's curse
Of woe and misery
It warned me of a drunkard's curse
And made a man of me
