[00:00:07] Friends there's something been haunting me

[00:00:10] And I just got to tell you about it

[00:00:13] I saw an accident one day

[00:00:15] That would chill the heart of any man

[00:00:19] And teach them not to drink a drop

[00:00:21] While the steering wheel's in their hand

[00:00:24] This awfull accident occurred

[00:00:26] On the 20th day of May

[00:00:29] And caused two dear little

[00:00:31] Children to be sleeping beneath the clay

[00:00:36] These two little kids walked side

[00:00:37] By side along the state highway

[00:00:42] Their poor old mother she had died

[00:00:45] And their daddy had run away

[00:00:48] As these two little kids walked arm

[00:00:51] In arm how sad their hearts did feel

[00:00:55] When around the curb came a speeding car

[00:00:58] With a drunk man at the wheel

[00:01:02] The drunk man saw the two little kids

[00:01:05] And he hollered a drunken sound

[00:01:07] "Get out of the road you little fools"

[00:01:09] And the car it brought them down

[00:01:13] The bumper struck the little girl

[00:01:15] Taking her life away

[00:01:17] While the little boy

[00:01:19] In a puddle of blood

[00:01:21] In the ditch lying there did lay

[00:01:24] The drunk man staggered

[00:01:25] From his car to see the damage

[00:01:28] That he had done

[00:01:30] And he let out a yell

[00:01:31] You could hear for miles

[00:01:33] When he recognized his dying son

[00:01:36] Such mourning from a drunken man

[00:01:38] I've never heard before

[00:01:40] While kneeling at the running board

[00:01:42] He prayed to heavens door

[00:01:45] Saying "Oh God please forgive me

[00:01:47] For this awful crime I've done"

[00:01:50] And his attention then was called away

[00:01:53] By the words of his dying son

[00:01:55] And he said

[00:01:56] "Daddy why did you do this to us

[00:02:00] How come you run us to the ground

[00:02:02] It was you and Mummy we was talking about

[00:02:05] When the car it brought us down

[00:02:08] And I was just telling little sister

[00:02:10] That I knew we'd see you again someday

[00:02:13] But Daddy why did it have to be like this

[00:02:16] Why did it have to be this way

[00:02:19] Why Daddy Why
