[Verse 1]
G G I saw a man at the close of day C D7 Standing round the grocery door C G His eyes were sunk, his lips were parched D7 G And I viewed him o'er and o'er.
[Verse 2]
G His lit-tle son stood by his side C D7 And unto him he said C G Oh Father, Mother's sick at home D7 G And sister cries fer bread
[Verse 3]
G He turned around, went in at the door C D7 He staggered up to the bar C G And faultering unto the landlord said D7 G Just give me one glass more.
[Verse 4]
G A year or so I passed thereby C D7 And a crowd stood round the door C G I asked the reason, one replied, D7 G Why, the drunkard is no more.
[Verse 5]
G Just then a hearse moved slowly ["slow-lie"] by C D7 No wife or children near C G They'd gone before this vile murder D7 G And left this world of care.
[Verse 6]
G Come all you jolly dram drinkers C D7 By this a warning take C G And quit the overflowing bowl D7 G Before it is too late.
