Edward, you look so happy now
You dress all neat and clean
I never see you drunk about
Please tell me where you’ve been
It was a dream, a warning dream
That heaven sent to me
To sn~tch me from my drunkard’s doom
Grim want and misery
(grim want and misery)
How come this happy change?
You’ve kinder to them grown
How come this happy change?
Your wife and family, are they well?
You once did use them strange
You’ve kinder to them grown
How came this happy change?
The money all was spent for drink
Oh, what a wretch to view!
I almost broke my mary’s heart
And starved my children, too
(and then starved your children, too)
How come this happy change?
You’ve kinder to them grown
How come this happy change?
How come this happy change?
You’ve kinder to them grown
How come this happy change?
My mary’s heart did waste away
Yes, i saw her sunken eyes
My babes on straw in sickness lied
I heard the wailing cries
(and you heard their wailing cries)
How come this happy change?
You’ve kinder to them grown
How come this happy change?
How come this happy change?
You’ve kinder to them grown
How come this happy change?
