I  once
knew a man
who owned houses and land

Was wealthy, noble, and brave
Whiskey, beer, and gin,
they got the best of him
A A 
 
D D 
 
Now he lays in a drunkard's grave
Oh, how lonely, oh, how sad
Just to think of that strong
A A 
 
drink they crave

Then in the end, lose their dearest friend

Lay in a drunkard's grave
He had a lovin' wife
And he loved her more than life

In his younger days, he tried to say
Took his first drink for fun,
you see what it has done
A A

Now he lays in a drunkard's grave
Oh, how lonely, oh, how sad

Lay in a drunkard's grave.

Let us pity those who drink
From their presents do not shrink
But pray to God that he

their soul might save
This will be an awful fate
If they wait till it's too late
A A 
 
D D 
 
For they'll lay in a drunkard's grave
Oh, how lonely, oh, how sad
Just to think of the strong
A A 
 
drink they crave
D D 
 
Then in the end, lose their dearest friend
A A 
 
D D 
 
And lay in a drunkard's grave.
Then in the end, lose their dearest friend
A A 
 
And lay in a drunkard's grave.
D D
