Stay mother stay for the storm is abroad	A
And the tempest is very wild	B
It's a fearful night with no ray of light	C
Oh stay with your little child	B
	-
Hush darling the mother with white lips said	D
Lie still till I come again	E
God's angels blest will watch o'er thy rest	F
While I am abroad in the rain	G
Thy father child oh I quake with fear	H
When I think where he may be	I
And I dare not stay till the dawn of day	J
I must hasten forth to see	I
	-
Then the young child buried her tangled curls	K
In the ragged counterpane	G
While the half clad mother went forth alone	G
In the blinding wind and rain	G
	-
Down many a narrow slippery lane	G
Down many a long dark street	L
Went that shivering form thro' the pelting storm	M
Of wind and rain and sleet	L
Till nearing a den where inebriate men	G
With Bacchanal oath and yell	N
And curse and jeer spent the midnight drear	H
She reeled in the gloom and fell	N
For a prostrate form in the pitiless storm	M
And inky darkness lay	J
Helpless and prone on the pavement stone	G
Across her desolate way	J
	-
She knelt alone by the fallen one	G
And murmured in accents low	O
A name how dear to her girlhood's ear	H
In the beautiful long ago	O
But no voice no tone replied to her own	G
And the cold hand fell like lead	D
And her wailing cry brought back no reply	P
As she shrieked he is dead he's dead	D
	-
Aye dead God pity thee stricken wife	Q
God pity thee orphan child	B
Poor slave to wine what a death was thine	G
In that wintry tempest wild	B
	-
We know not how long that wild drunken song	R
And those curses assailed her ear	H
But the morning ray found its early way	J
To one who no more could hear	H
For the faithful heart that had borne its part	S
Awhile through those watches lone	G
Had grown still it last as the pitiless blast	T
Swept by her with wrathful tone	G
But the rumseller he slept quietly	I
In his chamber of gilded pride	U
For little he cared how his victims fared	V
Or whether they lived or died	U
	-
Oh the old old strain with its old refrain	G
Of agony death and woe	O
Oh the bitter tears that through all the years	W
Have been flowing and ever flow	O
Must the ghastly tragedy never cease	X
Will Manhood never awake	Y
And by God's great might made strong for the right	C
Stand up for Humanity's sake	Y
And wipe the horrible stain away	J
From his country and his home	Z
The dark ensangnined loathsome stain	G
Of the merciless monster Rum	A2
