This world is so hard and so stony; That if a man is to get through, He need have the courage of Nelson, And plenty of Job’s patience too. But a man who is kind to another And cheerfully helps him along, God Bless such a man and a Brother, And here’s to his health in a song. And here’s to his health, here’s to his health And here’s to his health in a song. Chorus: (All stand) And here’s to his health, here’s to his health And here’s to his health in a song.

This life is as cheerless as Winter, To those who are cold in the heart; but a man who is warm in his nature, Bids Winter for ever depart, The ground that he treads on will blossom, ’Till beauties around him shall throng; God Bless such a man and a Brother, And here’s to his health in a song. And here’s to his health; here’s to his health And here’s to his health in a song. Chorus: (All stand) And here’s to his health, here’s to his health And here’s to his health in a song.

As clouds that in sunshine are open, And silver’d by light passing through; So men who are gen’rous in spirit, Are bless’d by the good deeds they do; There’s nothing like helping another For getting one’s own self along; Who does this is truly a Brother. And here’s to his health in a song. And here’s to his health; here’s to his health And here’s to his health in a song. Chorus: (All stand) And here’s to his health, here’s to his health And here’s to his health in a song. Repeated And here’s to his health, here’s to his health And here’s to his health in a song.

I was asked in 2006 to source the music for 'The Merry Masons' (aka The Devonshire Waltz) for a Masonic Annual Ball in Scotland.  I can only presume, that, having looked at other pages on the Internet, this music is used for Processions by the Scottish Masons. I was unable to locate the Score Sheet (or words - if any exist) but did come across a midi file which I have 'played' with and extended the play time to 3 minutes 12 seconds (as per the original request). I say 'play,' because I downloaded a free program which allowed me to change and/or add several instruments.  I didn't go past mixing two instruments but I did do several versions which are included below - I apologise unreservedly in advance if you don't like it!

This a song that was produced by Frank Wiliams, an American singer in 1906. I am not sure of some of the words and if you think you know what they are please don't hesitate to contact the webmaster. The mp3 file was provided by kind permission of the University of California, Santa Barbara, who hold the copyright.  The original was recorded on a two-minute brown wax and XP cylinder record of the Columbia Phonograph Company in 1906

King Solomon was Ruler of the wisest of the Nations He founded that great Brotherhood we know as the Freemasons All Masons are as Brothers, rich or poor they're all akin Unless a man is tried and true 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 All Brother Masons, Brothers kind and true When you're in trouble they will stand by you Across the sea where e'er you be you're in your native land Wherever there's a Mason you will find a helping hand. Lodge Number 3 of Kankakee1 made Hiram Brown a Mason They had a herd of billy goats at his Initiation When Hiram Brown came in the room the goats began to sniff Then they all butted in and let poor Hiram have a biff2 They kicked poor Hiram all around they knew he had no gumption Then threw iced water on him till he thought he'd get consumption When Hiram said he'd catch a cold they said "None of your lip You cannot be a Mason, boy, unless you have the grippe3. " 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 for they beat him black and blue.

And for those of us on the UK side of the 'pond,' here is a quick explanation to some of the above. 1.    Kankakee - is a real city in Illinois. 2.    Then they all butted in and let poor Hiram have a biff - This is a Masonically obvious pun, (Hiram Abiff) basically saying that the billy goats 'head butted' Hiram. 3.    You cannot be a Mason, boy, unless you have the grippe. - This is a less obvious Masonic pun and play on the word, 'grippe.'  Poor Hiram is afraid he'll catch cold, sometimes flu was called 'la grippe.' As an aside, for those of us who are not too hot on American history, there is the mention of two prominent American Masons - Theodore Roosevelt (26th US President, 1901 - 1909) who was President at the time this song was produced and of George Washington (1st US President, 1789 - 1797). A big thank you to Allan Ramsay (Lewis Lodge No. 872) for sending me the file and information and a bigger thank you to James Fulford who emailed the website (in response to 'a call for help') and kindly clarified the above points of note.
