Brother Mason

King Solomon was ruler of the wisest of the nations.
He founded that great Brotherhood we know as Freemasons.
All Masons are as Brothers, we suppose they’re all akin.
Unless a man is kind and good, he cannot enter in.

In sickness or in trouble, they are bound to help each other.
No matter where a Mason goes, he'll always find a Brother.
George Washington was proud to be a Mason good and true.
And Roosevelt is a Mason and a mighty good one too.

CHORUS:

All, Brother Masons, Brothers kind and true,
When you're in trouble, they will stand by you.
Across the sea, where e”re you be or in your native land,
Wherever there's a Mason, you will find a helping hand.

Lodge Number 3, of Kankakee made Hiram Brown a Mason.
They had a heard of billy goats at his initiation.
When Hiram Brown came in the room, the goats began to sniff.
They butted in and butted out, poor Hiram have a biff.

They kicked poor Hiram all around, they knew he had no gumption,
They threw ice water on him 'til he said he’d get consumption.
And when he said he'd catch a cold, they said none of your lip,
You cannot be a Mason, boy, unless you'd have the grippe.


All Brother Masons, Brothers kind and true,
When you're in trouble, they will stand by you.
Poor Hiram’s Third Degree was worse than all the other two
But he’s a Blue Lodge Mason cause they beat him black and blue.
