Now listen here drunken driver
while here on Earth you dwell,
you'll never know when the time will come,
when you have to say farewell.
I saw an accident one day,
would charm the hearts of men
and teach him never to drink a drop with a steering wheel in his hand.
This awful accident occurred,
on the twentieth day of May
that caused two loving children to sleep beneath the glade.
These two dear kids walked side by side
out on the state highway
their loving mother, she had died,
and their father had run away.
They were talking of their loving parents,
how sad their hearts did feel
when around the curve came a speeding car
with a drunk man at the wheel
the driver saw these two dear kids,
and hooted a drunkered sound,
get out of the road you little fools
and the car had brought them down
The driver staggered from his car,
to see what he had done,
and his heart sank within him when he saw his dying son.
He then picked up his little one
and carried him to his car
and leaning on the running board,
he prayed a drunker's prayer,
saying please ol' Lord forgive me,
for this awful crime I've done,
and his attention then was called away
to the words of his dying son
syaing take us to our mother dad,
she sleeps beneath the ground
it was you and her we were talking about
when the car had knocked us down.
And please dear dad don't drink no more
while driving on your way,
but meet us with our mother dad,
in Heaven some sweet day.
