Drank Like A River
Well, he was kneely-eyed
When he returned to the town he'd come from
He's brown bagging it tonight behind some tavern
Somebody wrecked his life, and I'll bet you it was his darling
Somebody wrecked his life, and I'll bet you it was his darling
So he drank like a river when their wedding bells rang
Watched from the steeple as the choir girls sang
Died in a gutter on his feet and his hands
Same hands that had once touched her face
Well, he was kneely-eyed
When he returned to the town he'd come from
He's hanging out drinking beer with his brother-in-law
He was a drinker at night, and in the morning he was unnerving
He was a drinker full time, the day that he lost his darling
So he drank like a river when their wedding bells rang
Watched from the steeple as the choir girls sang
Died in a gutter on his feet and his hands
Same hands that had once touched her face
Bebeu Como um Rio
Bem, ele estava com os olhos marejados
Quando voltou para a cidade de onde veio
Ele tá com uma garrafa escondida hoje à noite atrás de um bar
Alguém destruiu a vida dele, e aposto que foi a amada
Alguém destruiu a vida dele, e aposto que foi a amada
Então ele bebeu como um rio quando os sinos do casamento tocaram
Assistiu do campanário enquanto as meninas do coral cantavam
Morreu em uma sarjeta de pé e com as mãos
As mesmas mãos que um dia tocaram o rosto dela
Bem, ele estava com os olhos marejados
Quando voltou para a cidade de onde veio
Ele tá bebendo cerveja com o cunhado
Ele era um bebedor à noite, e de manhã ele era inquieto
Ele era um bebedor em tempo integral, no dia em que perdeu a amada
Então ele bebeu como um rio quando os sinos do casamento tocaram
Assistiu do campanário enquanto as meninas do coral cantavam
Morreu em uma sarjeta de pé e com as mãos
As mesmas mãos que um dia tocaram o rosto dela
