The drunkard's hell
It was on one dark and starless night I heard and saw an awful sight The lighting flshed and the thunder roader roared All around ther drunkard's feet I started home to change my life To see my long neglected wife I found her kneeling by her bed She said our darling girl is dead I took her by her trembling hand She was so weak she could not stand On bended knee I prayed a prayer That God might save and protect us there Who preached like paul who once did say Our sins have all been washed away Let whiskey stay as far from me As the mountain did from the deep blue sea
