Now don’t go out tonight little darling Do not leave me here alone Stay at home with me my darling I’m so lonesome while you’re gone I hear a knockin’ at my door And a footstep on the floor Now they’re bringin’ home my darling Here he lies drunk upon the floor Now he’s dying yes he’s dying Soon I’ll be left all alone I pray that God’s warm tender mercy Will save him from a drunkard’s doom
