Lyrics
But every time i started in i thought about the drunkard s den, the lightning flashed Brothers, this is the whiskey seller s doom
i knelt her down and prayed a prayer
To ring with christ an endless day, to ring with christ an endless day The, it was on one dark and starless night
I felt like paul who once did pray, across my dark denial soul
to ring with christ an endless day
to ring with christ an endless day
I heard and saw an awful sight, where all the dying drunkards go i saw another weeping crowd
And now i live a better life, i felt like paul who once did pray The, our little baby had gone to sleep
I saw a gulf form down below, i knelt her down and prayed a prayer, it was on one dark and starless night
I went to seek redeeming grace, i heard and saw an awful sight The, but every time i started in i thought about the drunkard s den
She was so weak she could not stand, got there at last Louvin, bloodshotten eyes and voices loud
Got there at last, i started home to change my life Brothers, i smashed it down and left the place
we ll give you room
Got there at last, in a christian home with a loving wife Brothers, to ring with christ an endless day
our little baby had gone to sleep
Where all the dying drunkards go i saw another weeping crowd, bloodshotten eyes and voices loud Louvin, i started there
we ll give you room
In a christian home with a loving wife, in a christian home with a loving wife
it was on one dark and starless night
Across my dark denial soul, that god might save and bless us there The, i saw a gulf form down below
i felt like paul who once did pray
Got there at last, i started home to change my life The, i started there
bloodshotten eyes and voices loud
we ll give you room
I felt like paul who once did pray, the thunder rolled
Got there at last, for god to wash his sins away Louvin, it was on one dark and starless night
got there at last
I knelt her down and prayed a prayer, to see my loving neglected wife
she was so weak she could not stand
for god to wash his sins away
I felt like paul who once did pray, bloodshotten eyes and voices loud, it was on one dark and starless night
but every time i started in i thought about the drunkard s den
I saw a gulf form down below, we ll give you room The, i heard and saw an awful sight
I found her weeping over the bed, i knelt her down and prayed a prayer Louvin, bloodshotten eyes and voices loud
bloodshotten eyes and voices loud
Bloodshotten eyes and voices loud, i smashed it down and left the place, to ring with christ an endless day
that god might save and bless us there
But every time i started in i thought about the drunkard s den, i knelt her down and prayed a prayer, i thought i d take a social glass
I saw a gulf form down below, i heard and saw an awful sight Drunkard's, our little baby had gone to sleep
Got there at last, but every time i started in i thought about the drunkard s den
for god to wash his sins away
that god might save and bless us there
I heard and saw an awful sight, i told her not to cry or weep Drunkard's, for god to wash his sins away
our little baby had gone to sleep
got there at last
