Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Don't go out tonight, my darling
Please don't leave me here alone
Stay at home with me, my darling
I'm so lonesome when you're gone
[Verse 2]
Though your wine cup may be tempting
And your friends are full of glee
I will try my best to cheer you
Darling, won't you stay with me
[Verse 3]
Oh, dear Lord, he's gone and left me
With a curse upon his lips
No one knows how I have suffered
From that awful cup he drinks
[Verse 4]
I can hear his heavy foot steps
And the rap upon the door
They have brought home my darling
And there he is upon the floor
[Verse 5]
Oh, how can I ever wake him
All he cares is rum, rum, rum
And all my fondest hopes I cherished
They have faded one by one
