3/4 time, tuned slightly sharp [Intro] | A | A | D | A | A | | A | E | A | A | [Chorus]
A                D       A
Don't sell Daddy anymore whiskey,

  A                      E
I know it will take him away.

A                     D        A
We are all hungry and Mamma is weeping,

      A           E         A
Don't sell him no whiskey today.
[Verse 1]
   A                          D             A
I walked down the street of a small country town,

      A                        E
And I passed by an old whiskey store,

  A                     D               A
I saw a little boy, his clothes were so shabby.

  A             E            A
I stopped and I stood by the door.

  E                       A
I want you to listen, for I am repeating

    B7                         E
The words that I heard the boy say.
[Chorus]
A                D       A
Don't sell Daddy anymore whiskey,

  A                      E
I know it will take him away.

A                     D        A
We are all hungry and Mamma is weeping,

      A           E         A
Don't sell him no whiskey today.
[Instrumental] | A | A | D | A | A | | A | A | E | E | | A | A | D | A | A | | A | E | A | A [Verse 2]
   A                    D            A
He treats us so good as long as he's sober,

       A                         E
And he tells us that he loves us so,

      A                        D        A
But a bottle of whiskey drives Daddy so crazy,

    A           E             A
I'm telling you this 'cause I know.

   E                  A
He beats my mommy and brothers,

   B7                   E
We have no shoes on our feet.
[Chorus]
A                D       A
Don't sell Daddy anymore whiskey,

  A                      E
I know it will take him away.

A                     D        A
We are all hungry and Mamma is weeping,

      A           E         A
Don't sell him no whiskey today.
[Outro] | A | E | A | A
