~Please Sell No More Drink To My Father~
- Please, Sir, will you listen a moment
- I've something important to say
- My Mother has sent you a message
- Receive it in kindness, I pray
- 'Tis of Father, poor Father, I'm speaking
- You know him he's called Ragged Gore
- But we love him and hope we may save him
- If you'll promise to sell him no more
- Please sell no more drink to my father
- It makes him so strange and so wild
- Heed the prayer of my heart-broken mother
- And pity the poor drunkard's child
- My father came home yester even
- Reeled home thro' the mud and the rain
- He upset the lamp on the table
- And struck my sick mother again
- Then all through the hours till the morning
- He lay on the cold kitchen floor
- And this morning he's sick and he's sorry
- Oh! promise to sell him no more
- Please sell no more drink to my father
- It makes him so strange and so wild
- Heed the prayer of my heart broken mother
- And pity the poor drunkard's child
- When sober he loves us so dearly
- No father is kinder than he
- He wishes so much to stop drinking
- But this is the trouble you see
- He cannot resist the temptation
- He feels when he passes your door
- As he goes to his work in the morning
- Please promise to sell him no more
- Please sell no more drink to my father
- It makes him so strange and so wild
- Heed the prayer of my heart broken mother
- And pity the poor drunkard's child
