Don't Let the Women Vote

learned from Martha Dennis Burns

Those temperance men do all they can
To keep their cause afloat,
But I have no fear what they may do
So long as the woman don't vote.

Chorus:
Don't let the women vote,
Don't let the woman vote.
We'll lose the battle sure as you live
If they let the women vote.

Just let the women prate and pray,
By that they'll do no harm,
But when they talk of letting them vote
My soul takes on alarm.

Don't let the women vote ...
It's goodbye whiskey, beer and rum ...

We'll scare those temperance men somewhat,
Tell them they'll lose the day,
If they don't get rid of those women folks,
And throw that plank away.

Don't let the women vote ...
The whiskey traffic is gone for sure ...

If we get the temperance men to throw
That suffrage plank away
And drop the WCTU
'Twill be a merry day

Don't let the women vote ...
We fear not God, and we fear not man
But we fear the women's vote.
