《The Drunken Driver》歌词

[00:00:00] The Drunken Driver - Ferlin Husky

[00:00:00] Friends my name is Ferlin Husky

[00:00:02] I'd like to tell you 'bout a man that let alcohol

[00:00:06] Destroy everything that God gave him

[00:00:30] I saw an accident one day that would chill the heart of any man

[00:00:35] It would teach them not to drink a drop

[00:00:38] While the steering wheel's in their hand

[00:00:41] This awful accident occurred on the 20th day of May

[00:00:45] And caused two little children

[00:00:47] To be sleepin' beneath the clay

[00:00:51] These two little kids walked side by side

[00:00:53] Along the state highway

[00:00:56] Their poor old mother she had died

[00:00:58] And their daddy had ran away

[00:01:02] As these two little children walked arm in arm

[00:01:04] How sad their hearts did feel

[00:01:08] When around the curb came a speeding car

[00:01:11] With a drunk man

[00:01:12] At the wheel

[00:01:14] The drunk man saw the little kids

[00:01:16] And he hollered a drunked sound

[00:01:18] Get out of the road you little fools

[00:01:20] And the car it brought them down

[00:01:25] The bumper struck the little girl takin' her life away

[00:01:28] While the little boy in a puddle of blood

[00:01:31] In the ditch lyin' there did lay

[00:01:35] The drunk man staggered from his car

[00:01:37] To see the damage that he had done

[00:01:39] And then he let out a yell you could hear for miles

[00:01:43] When he recognized his dyin' son

[00:01:46] Such mournin' from a drunken man I've never heard before

[00:01:50] While kneeling down by his car he prayed to heavens door

[00:01:54] Sayin'

[00:01:55] Oh God please forgive me for this awful crime I've done

[00:01:59] And his attention then

[00:02:02] Was called away

[00:02:03] By the words of his dyin' son

[00:02:06] He said

[00:02:08] Daddy why did you do this to us

[00:02:10] How come you run us to the ground

[00:02:13] It was you and Mummy we were talkin' about

[00:02:16] When the car it brought us down

[00:02:19] And I was just tellin' little sister

[00:02:21] That I knew we'd see you again someday

[00:02:24] But

[00:02:26] Daddy why did it have to be like this

[00:02:29] Why did it have to be this way

[00:02:32] Why daddy

[00:02:34] Why
