Here's a story about a sinner, |
| [00:18.940] |
He used to be a winner who enjoyed a life of prominence and position, |
| [00:24.780] |
But the pressures at the office and his socialite engagements, |
| [00:29.100] |
And his selfish wife's fanatical ambition, |
| [00:33.360] |
It turned him to the booze, |
| [00:35.230] |
And he got mixed up with a floosie |
| [00:37.200] |
And she led him to a life of indecision. |
| [00:40.970] |
The floosie made him spend his dole |
| [00:43.030] |
She left him lying on Skid Row |
| [00:44.820] |
A drunken lag in some Salvation Army Mission. |
| [00:48.810] |
It's such a shame. |
| [00:54.020] |
Oh demon alcohol, |
| [00:57.760] |
Sad memories I cannot recall, |
| [01:02.380] |
Who thought I would say, |
| [01:05.900] |
Damn it all and blow it all, |
| [01:10.710] |
Oh demon alcohol, |
| [01:15.230] |
Memories I cannot recall, |
| [01:18.730] |
Who thought I would fall a slave to demon alcohol. |
| [01:30.290] |
Sad memories I cannot recall, |
| [01:34.900] |
Who thought I would fall a slave to demon alcohol. |
| [01:50.170] |
Barley wine, pink gin, |
| [01:52.230] |
He'll drink anything, |
| [01:54.180] |
Port, pernod or tequila, |
| [01:58.470] |
Rum, scotch, vodka on the rocks |
| [02:03.010] |
As long as all his troubles disappeared. |
| [02:06.350] |
But he messed up his life, went and beat up his wife, |
| [02:10.170] |
And the floosie's gone and found another sucker |
| [02:14.040] |
She's gonna turn him on to drink |
| [02:15.990] |
She's gonna lead him to the brink |
| [02:18.190] |
And when his money's gone, |
| [02:19.770] |
She'll leave him in the gutter, |
| [02:22.230] |
It's such a shame. |
| [02:26.790] |
Oh demon alcohol, |
| [02:30.950] |
Sad memories I cannot recall, |
| [02:35.160] |
Who thought I would say, |
| [02:39.010] |
Damn it all and blow it all, |
| [03:02.890] |
Sad memories I cannot recall, |
| [03:07.050] |
Who thought I would fall, |
| [03:10.620] |
A slave to demon alcohol. |
