The Drunkard's Hell (with The Clinch Mountain Boys)

Lyrics

It was on one dark and starless night
 I heard and saw an awful sight
 The lighting flashed and the thunder roared
 All around the drunkard's feet
 I started home to change my life
 To see my long neglected wife
 I found her kneeling by her bed
 She said our darling baby was dead
 I took her by her trembling hand
 She was so weak she could not stand
 On bended knees I prayed a prayer
 That God might save and protect us there
 Who preached like Paul who once did say
 Our sins have all been washed away
 That whiskey stay as far from me
 as the mountains are from the deep blue sea
