Drunkard’s Walk by J.D. Hutchison (J.D. Hutchison Music Publishing / BMI)

Tell me brother tell me, it’s so hard to understand
Why you forsake your life to be a drunken-hearted man
A drunken-hearted man

High life and demon alcohol have ruined many men
Oh tell me my brother, would you be one of them
Would you be one of them

Your family that loves you, prays for you day and night
You treat them like a stranger and shun their good advice
And shun their good advice

Your mouth is full of promises, just so much empty talk
Your heart is with the bottle and the lonesome drunkard’s walk
The lonesome drunkard’s walk

When this earthly span has ended, then each must walk alone
To enter darker regions or rise to worlds unknown
Or rise to worlds unknown

High life and demon alcohol have ruined many men
Oh tell me my brother, would you be one of them
Would you be one of them
