Drunkards Dream

Carter/Stanley

[G]Oh, Edmund you look so pleasant [G7]now
Your [C]clothes look neat and [G]clean
I [C]haven’t seen you [G]drink a [Em]drop
Pray [G]tell me [D]where you [G]been.

[G]Your wife and children, are they [G7]well?
You [C]used to treat them [G]strange
But [C]are you kinder [G]to them [Em]now?
How [G]came this [D]happy [G]change?

[G]I had a dream, a warning [G7]dream
That [C]heaven sent to [G]me
It [C]warned me of a [G]drunkard’s [Em]curse
Of [G]woe and [D]mis- [G]ery.

I [G]heard him say poors Maisie’s [G7]dead
She’s [C]lived a wretched [G]life
For [C]grief and pain had [G]broke her [Em]heart
To [G]live a [D]drunkard’s [G7]wife.

[G]I had a dream, a warning [G7]dream
That [C]heaven sent to [G]me
It [C]warned me of a [G]drunkard’s [Em]curse
Of [G]woe and [D]mis- [G]ery.’

It [C]warned me of a [G]drunkard’s [Em]curse
And [G]made a [D]man of [G]me.
