please sell no more drink to my father - elsa lanchester lyrics

Loading...

[verse]
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

it’s of father, poor father, i’m speaking
you know him, he’s called ragged [?]
but we love him and hope we may save him
if you’ll promise to sell him no more

[chorus]
please sell no more drink to my father
it makes him so strange and so wild
heed the prayer of my heartbroken mother
and pity the poor drunkard’s child

[verse]
my father camе home yester еven
reeled home through the mud and the rain
he upset the lamp on our table
and struck my sick mother again

then all through the hours ’till the morning
he lay on our cold kitchen floor
and this morning he’s sick and he’s sorry
please promise to sell him no more
[chorus]
please sell no more drink to my father
it makes him so strange and so wild
heed the prayer of my heartbroken mother
and pity the poor drunkard’s child

[verse]
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

[chorus]
please sell no more drink to my father
it makes him so strange and so wild
heed the prayer of my heartbroken mother
and pity the poor drunkard’s child
