The Drunken Driver - Ferlin Husky
Friends there's something been haunting me
And I just got to tell you about it
I saw an accident one day
That would chill the heart of any man
And teach them not to drink a drop
While the steering wheel's in their hand
This awfull accident occurred
On the 20th day of May
And caused two dear little
Children to be sleeping beneath the clay
These two little kids walked side
By side along the state highway
Their poor old mother she had died
And their daddy had run away
As these two little kids walked arm
In arm how sad their hearts did feel
When around the curb came a speeding car
With a drunk man at the wheel
The drunk man saw the two little kids
And he hollered a drunken sound
'Get out of the road you little fools'
And the car it brought them down
The bumper struck the little girl
Taking her life away
While the little boy
In a puddle of blood
In the ditch lying there did lay
The drunk man staggered
From his car to see the damage
That he had done
And he let out a yell
You could hear for miles
When he recognized his dying son
Such mourning from a drunken man
I've never heard before
While kneeling at the running board
He prayed to heavens door
Saying 'Oh God please forgive me
For this awful crime I've done'
And his attention then was called away
By the words of his dying son
And he said
'Daddy why did you do this to us
How come you run us to the ground
It was you and Mummy we was talking about
When the car it brought us down
And I was just telling little sister
That I knew we'd see you again someday
But Daddy why did it have to be like this
Why did it have to be this way
Why Daddy Why
