《Please Sell No More Drink To My Father》歌词

[00:00:00] Please Sell No More Drink to My Father - Elsa Lanchester

[00:00:11] Please Sir will you listen a moment

[00:00:16] I've something important to say

[00:00:20] My Mother has sent you a message

[00:00:25] Receive it in kindness I pray

[00:00:30] 'Tis of Father poor Father I'm speaking

[00:00:35] You know him he's called Ragged Gore

[00:00:41] But we love him and hope we may save him

[00:00:46] If you'll promise to sell him no more

[00:00:52] Please sell no more drink to my father

[00:00:58] It makes him so strange and so wild

[00:01:02] Heed the prayer of my heart-broken mother

[00:01:09] And pity the poor drunkard's child

[00:01:16] My father came home yester even

[00:01:21] Reeled home thro' the mud and the rain

[00:01:26] He upset the lamp on the table

[00:01:31] And struck my sick mother again

[00:01:36] Then all through the hours till the morning

[00:01:41] He lay on the cold kitchen floor

[00:01:46] And this morning he's sick and he's sorry

[00:01:53] Oh promise to sell him no more

[00:01:59] Please sell no more drink to my father

[00:02:04] It makes him so strange and so wild

[00:02:09] Heed the prayer of my heart broken mother

[00:02:15] And pity the poor drunkard's child

[00:02:22] When sober he loves us so dearly

[00:02:26] No father is kinder than he

[00:02:31] He wishes so much to stop drinking

[00:02:36] But this is the trouble you see

[00:02:41] He cannot resist the temptation

[00:02:45] He feels when he passes your door

[00:02:50] As he goes to his work in the morning

[00:02:55] Please promise to sell him no more

[00:03:02] Please sell no more drink to my father

[00:03:08] It makes him so strange and so wild

[00:03:12] Heed the prayer of my heart broken mother

[00:03:21] And pity the poor drunkard's child
