[00:00.00]A Drunkard's Child - Ernest Tubb
[00:10.15]My father is a drunkard
[00:14.98]My mother she is dead
[00:19.81]And I am just an orphan child
[00:24.65]No place to lay my head
[00:29.41]All through this world I wander
[00:34.23]They drive me from their door
[00:38.98]Someday I'll find a welcome
[00:43.79]On heaven's golden shore
[00:48.70]Now if to me you'll listen I'll tell a story sad
[00:58.41]How drinking rum and the gambling hell
[01:03.09]Have stole away my dad
[01:07.99]My mother is in heaven
[01:12.79]Where God and the angels smile
[01:17.66]And now I know she's watching
[01:22.54]Her lonely orphan child
[01:37.18]We always once so happy and had a happy home
[01:46.82]Till daddy went to drinking rum
[01:51.69]And then he gambled some
[01:56.48]He left my darling mother
[02:01.26]She died of a broken heart
[02:06.09]And as I tell my story
[02:10.82]I see your teardrops start
[02:15.76]Don't weep for me and mother
[02:20.55]Although I know it is sad
[02:25.54]But try to get someone to cheer
[02:30.44]And save my poor lonely dad
[02:35.32]I'm awful cold and hungry
[02:40.20]She closed her eyes and sighed
[02:45.45]Then those who heard her story
[02:49.92]Knew the orphan child had died
