Now listen here, drunken driver While here on earth you dwell You never know when the time will come When you'll have to say farewellI saw an accident one day Would charm the hearts of man And teach him never to drink a drop With a steerin' wheel in his handThis awful accident occurred On the twentieth day of May Caused two lovin' children To sleep beneath the clayThese two dear kids walked side by side Out on a state highway Their lovin' mother, she had died And their father had run awayThey were talkin' of their lovin' parents How sad their hearts did feel When around the curve came a speedin' car With a drunk man at the wheelThe driver saw these two dear kids And hooted a drunkard sound "Get out of the road, you little fools" And the car had brought them downThe driver staggered from his car To see what he had done His heart sank within him When he saw his dyin' sonHe then picked up his little one And carried him to his car Then leanin' on the runnin' board He prayed a drunkard's prayerSayin', "Please, oh Lord, forgive me For this awful crime I've done" His attention then was called away To the words of his dyin' sonSayin' "Take us to our mother, dad She sleeps beneath the ground It was you and her we were talkin' about When the car had knocked us down""And please, dear dad, don't drink no more While drivin' on your way But meet us with our mother, dad In Heaven some sweet day"
