The Drunkard's Doom - The Louvin Brothers
It was on one dark and starless night
I heard and saw an awful sight
The lightning flashed the thunder rolled

Across my dark denial soul

I saw a gulf form down below

Where all the dying drunkards go

I saw another weeping crowd

Bloodshotten eyes and voices loud

Come here young man we'll give you room

This is the whiskey seller's doom

I started there got there at last
I thought I'd take a social glass
But every time I started in
I thought about the drunkard's den

I smashed it down and left the place
I went to seek redeeming grace
I felt like paul who once did pray
For god to wash his sins away

I started home to change my life
To see my loving neglected wife
I found her weeping over the bed
Because our infant babe was dead
I told her not to cry or weep
Our little baby had gone to sleep
It's little soul had passed away
To ring with christ an endless day

I took her by her lilly white hand
She was so weak she could not stand

I knelt her down and prayed a prayer
That god might save and bless us there

And now I live a better life
In a christian home and a loving wife
