I saw a man at the close of the day
Standing by a grocery door
His eyes were sunk and his lips were parched
And I knew him o'er and o'er
His little boy stood by his side
And unto him he said
Father, mother's sick at home
And says goodbye for a break
He turned around, walked through the door
Staggered up to the bar
And up to the wine bar
And said, just give me one last drink
In about a year I passed her by
A crowd stood around the door
I asked the reasons one may find
The drunkard is no more
Just then a hearse moved slowly by
The wife and children came
They called me for this foul murder
And bid this world adieu
Come all you jolly groundbreakers
Come this warning time
And quit the overthrowing
Before it is too late
