Now listen here, drunken driver
While here on earth you dwell
You never know when the time will come
When you'll have to say farewell.

I saw an accident one day
Would charm the hearts of man
And teach him never to drink a drop
With a steerin' wheel in his hand.

This awful accident occured
On the twentieth day of May
And caused two loving children
To sleep beneath the clay.

These two dear kids walked side by side
Out on a state highway
Their lovin' mother, she had died
And their father had run away.

They were talking of their loving parents
How sad their hearts did feel
When around the curve came a speedin' car
With a drunk man at the wheel.

The driver saw these two dear kids
And hooted a drunkard sound
Get out of the road, you little fools
And the car had brought them down.

--- Instrumental ---

The driver staggered from his car
To see what he had done
His heart sank within him
When he saw his dyin' son.

He then picked up his little one
And carried him to his car
Then leanin' on the runnin' board
He prayed a drunkard's prayer.

Sayin', "Please, oh Lord, forgive me
For this awful crime I've done"
His attention then was called away
To the words of his dyin' son.

Sayin' "Take us to our mother, Dad
She sleeps beneath the ground
It was you and her we was talkin' about
When the car had knocked us down."

"And please, dear Dad, don't drink no more
While drivin' on your way
But meet us with our mother, Dad
In heaven some sweet day."...


Mirror lyrics:

In heaven some sweet day."...
But meet us with our mother, Dad
While drivin' on your way
"And please, dear Dad, don't drink no more

When the car had knocked us down."
It was you and her we was talkin' about
She sleeps beneath the ground
Sayin' "Take us to our mother, Dad

To the words of his dyin' son.
His attention then was called away
For this awful crime I've done"
Sayin', "Please, oh Lord, forgive me

He prayed a drunkard's prayer.
Then leanin' on the runnin' board
And carried him to his car
He then picked up his little one

When he saw his dyin' son.
His heart sank within him
To see what he had done
The driver staggered from his car

Get out of the road, you little fools
And hooted a drunkard sound
The driver saw these two dear kids

When around the curve came a speedin' car
How sad their hearts did feel
They were talking of their loving parents

And their father had run away.
Their lovin' mother, she had died
Out on a state highway
These two dear kids walked side by side

To sleep beneath the clay.
And caused two loving children
On the twentieth day of May

With a steerin' wheel in his hand.
And teach him never to drink a drop
Would charm the hearts of man
I saw an accident one day

When you'll have to say farewell.
You never know when the time will come
While here on earth you dwell
Now listen here, drunken driver
