The Drunken Driver - Ferlin Husky[00:00:00]
Friends my name is Ferlin Husky[00:00:00]
I'd like to tell you 'bout a man that let alcohol[00:00:02]
Destroy everything that God gave him[00:00:06]
I saw an accident one day that would chill the heart of any man[00:00:30]
It would teach them not to drink a drop[00:00:35]
While the steering wheel's in their hand[00:00:38]
This awful accident occurred on the 20th day of May[00:00:41]
And caused two little children[00:00:45]
To be sleepin' beneath the clay[00:00:47]
These two little kids walked side by side[00:00:51]
Along the state highway[00:00:53]
Their poor old mother she had died[00:00:56]
And their daddy had ran away[00:00:58]
As these two little children walked arm in arm[00:01:02]
How sad their hearts did feel[00:01:04]
When around the curb came a speeding car[00:01:08]
With a drunk man[00:01:11]
At the wheel[00:01:12]
The drunk man saw the little kids[00:01:14]
And he hollered a drunked sound[00:01:16]
Get out of the road you little fools[00:01:18]
And the car it brought them down[00:01:20]
The bumper struck the little girl takin' her life away[00:01:25]
While the little boy in a puddle of blood[00:01:28]
In the ditch lyin' there did lay[00:01:31]
The drunk man staggered from his car[00:01:35]
To see the damage that he had done[00:01:37]
And then he let out a yell you could hear for miles[00:01:39]
When he recognized his dyin' son[00:01:43]
Such mournin' from a drunken man I've never heard before[00:01:46]
While kneeling down by his car he prayed to heavens door[00:01:50]
Sayin'[00:01:54]
Oh God please forgive me for this awful crime I've done[00:01:55]
And his attention then[00:01:59]
Was called away[00:02:02]
By the words of his dyin' son[00:02:03]
He said[00:02:06]
Daddy why did you do this to us[00:02:08]
How come you run us to the ground[00:02:10]
It was you and Mummy we were talkin' about[00:02:13]
When the car it brought us down[00:02:16]
And I was just tellin' little sister[00:02:19]
That I knew we'd see you again someday[00:02:21]
But[00:02:24]
Daddy why did it have to be like this[00:02:26]
Why did it have to be this way[00:02:29]
Why daddy[00:02:32]
Why[00:02:34]
