《The Drunkard’s Doom》歌词

[00:00:00] The Drunkard's Doom - The Louvin Brothers

[00:00:06] It was on one dark and starless night

[00:00:12] I heard and saw an awful sight

[00:00:17] The lightning flashed the thunder rolled

[00:00:23] Across my dark denial soul

[00:00:29] I saw a gulf form down below

[00:00:35] Where all the dying drunkards go

[00:00:40] I saw another weeping crowd

[00:00:46] Blood shorten eyes and voices loud

[00:00:52] Come here young man we'll give you room

[00:00:57] This is the whiskey seller's doom

[00:01:03] I started there got there at last

[00:01:09] I thought I'd take a social glass

[00:01:15] But every time I started in

[00:01:20] I thought about the drunkard's den

[00:01:26] I smashed it down and left the place

[00:01:32] I went to seek redeeming grace

[00:01:37] I felt like Paul who once did pray

[00:01:43] For god to wash his sins away

[00:01:49] I started home to change my life

[00:01:54] To see my loving neglected wife

[00:02:00] I found her weeping over the bed

[00:02:06] Because our infant babe was dead

[00:02:11] I told her not to cry or weep

[00:02:17] Our little baby had gone to sleep

[00:02:23] It's little soul had passed away

[00:02:28] To ring with Christ an endless day

[00:02:34] I took her by her Lilly white hand

[00:02:40] She was so weak she could not stand

[00:02:45] I knelt her down and prayed a prayer

[00:02:51] That god might save and bless us there

[00:02:57] And now I live a better life

[00:03:02] In a christian home and a loving wife
