Don't go out tonight

    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 here 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


  * Refrain


Now he's dying, yes he's dying
Soon I'll be left all alone
I pray that God's won tender mercy
Will save him from a drunkard's doom


  * Refrain
