Now don't go out tonight little darling
   Do not leave me here alone
   Stay at home with me my darling
   I'm so lonesome while you're gone

I hear a knockin' at my door
And a footstep on the floor
Now they're bringin' home my darling
Here he lies drunk upon the floor

Now he's dying yes he's dying
Soon I'll be left all alone
I pray that God's warm tender mercy
Will save him from a drunkard's doom
