Friends, my name is Ferlin Husky.
2
I'd like to tell you 'bout a man that let alcohol
3
destroy everything that God gave him
4
I saw an accident one day that would chill the heart of any man
5
It would teach them not to drink a drop
6
While the steering wheel's in their hand
7
This awful accident occurred on the 20th day of May
8
And caused two little children to be sleepin' beneath the clay
9
These two little kids walked side by side along the state highway
10
Their poor old mother, she had died
11
And their daddy had ran away
12
As these two little children walked arm in arm
13
How sad their hearts did feel
14
When around the curb came a speeding car
15
With a drunk man at the wheel
16
The drunk man saw the little kids
17
And he hollered a drunked sound
18
"Get out of the road you little fools"
19
And the car, it brought them down
20
The bumper struck the little girl, takin' her life away
21
While the little boy, in a puddle of blood
22
In the ditch, lyin' there did lay
23
The drunk man staggered from his car
24
To see the damage that he had done
25
And then he let out a yell you could hear for miles
26
When he recognized his dyin' son
27
Such mournin' from a drunken man, I've never heard before
28
While kneeling down by his car he prayed to heavens door
29
Sayin', "Oh God, please forgive me for this awful crime I've done"
30
And his attention then was called away
31
By the words of his dyin' son
32
He said, "Daddy, why did you do this to us
33
How come you run us to the ground?
34
It was you and Mummy we were talkin' about,
35
When the car, it brought us down
36
And I was just tellin' little sister
37
That I knew we'd see you again someday
38
But, Daddy, why did it have to be this way
39
Why did it
