Verse 1
G 
At dawn the day I saw a man
C 
G 
Stand by a grog's heath
C 
G 
His eyes were sunk, his lips were hot
Oh, that's the drunkard clue
Em 
G 
His little son stood by his side
C 
G 
And to his father said
C 
G 
Father, mother is sick at home
Em 
G 
C 
G 
C 
G 
And sister cries for bread
Em 
G 
He rose and staggered to the bar
C 
G 
As oft he'd done before
C 
And to the landlord
G 
Grimly said,
Em 
Just fill me one glass more.
G 
He raised the glass with trembling hand
C 
G 
And drank the liqueur red.
C 
G 
He drank while wife and children starved
Em 
And sister cried for bread
G 
C 
G 
C 
G 
Em 
G 
The year had passed, I went that way
C 
G 
C 
G 
A herd stood at the door
C 
G 
I paused to ask and  one reply
Em 
The drunkard is no more
G 
I saw the hearse move slowly on,
C 
G 
no wife nor child was there,
C 
G 
for they had gone on long before
Em 
and left this world of care.
G 
Now all your men this warning take
C 
G 
And shun the poison bowl
C 
G 
We'll lead you down to hell's dark gate
D 
G 
And ruin your lovely soul
