The Drunkard's Doom - The Louvin Brothers[00:00:00]
It was on one dark and starless night[00:00:06]
I heard and saw an awful sight[00:00:12]
The lightning flashed the thunder rolled[00:00:17]
Across my dark denial soul[00:00:23]
I saw a gulf form down below[00:00:29]
Where all the dying drunkards go[00:00:35]
I saw another weeping crowd[00:00:40]
Blood shorten eyes and voices loud[00:00:46]
Come here young man we'll give you room[00:00:52]
This is the whiskey seller's doom[00:00:57]
I started there got there at last[00:01:03]
I thought I'd take a social glass[00:01:09]
But every time I started in[00:01:15]
I thought about the drunkard's den[00:01:20]
I smashed it down and left the place[00:01:26]
I went to seek redeeming grace[00:01:32]
I felt like Paul who once did pray[00:01:37]
For god to wash his sins away[00:01:43]
I started home to change my life[00:01:49]
To see my loving neglected wife[00:01:54]
I found her weeping over the bed[00:02:00]
Because our infant babe was dead[00:02:06]
I told her not to cry or weep[00:02:11]
Our little baby had gone to sleep[00:02:17]
It's little soul had passed away[00:02:23]
To ring with Christ an endless day[00:02:28]
I took her by her Lilly white hand[00:02:34]
She was so weak she could not stand[00:02:40]
I knelt her down and prayed a prayer[00:02:45]
That god might save and bless us there[00:02:51]
And now I live a better life[00:02:57]
In a christian home and a loving wife[00:03:02]
