Don't go out tonight, my darling;
Do not leave me here alone.
Stay at home and be my darling;
I'm so lonesome when you're gone.
Now, alas, he's gone and left me,
With a curse upon his lips.
No one knows what I have suffered;
Oh, that awful cup he sips.
Oh, the wine glass may be tempting,
And your friends may lure you on.
Stay at home and be my darling;
I'm so lonesome when you're gone.
Now, alas, I hear him coming;
I hear a knock upon the door.
They have brought me home my husband;
He's lying drunk upon the floor.
Oh, they tell me that he's dying;
I will soon be left alone.
But I've done my best to save him,
To save him from a drunkard's doom.
