The Drunkards Hell

A D D It was on one dark and starless night D I heard and saw an awful sight D The lighting flashed and the thunder roared A7 D All around this drunkard’s feet D I started home to change my life D To see my long neglected wife D I found her kneeling by her bed A7 D She said our darling baby was dead D A7 D D I took her by her trembling hand D She was so weak she could not stand D On bended knees I prayed a prayer A7 D That God might save and protect us there D Who preached like Paul who once did say D Our sins have all been washed away D That whiskey stay as far from me A7 D As the mountain is from the deep blue sea D It was on one dark and starless night D I heard and saw an awful sight D The lighting flashed and the thunder roared A7 D All around this drunkard’s feet
