[Verse 1]
D It was on one dark and starless night D G D I heard and saw an awful sight D G D The lighting flashed and the thunder roared D A D All around the drunkard’s feet
[Verse 2]
D I started home to change my life D G D To see my long neglected wife D G D I found her kneeling by her bed D A D She said our darling baby was dead

[Verse 3]
D I took her by her trembling hand D G D She was so weak she could not stand D G D On bended knees I prayed a prayer D A D That God might save and protect us there
[Verse 4]
D Who preached like Paul who once did say D G D Our sins have all been washed away D G D That whiskey stay as far from me D A D As the mountainS are from the deep blue sea
[Verse 5]
D It was on one dark and starless night D G D I heard and saw an awful sight D G D The lighting flashed and the thunder roared D A D D All around the drunkard's feet
