Cat. #0637 (MFH #230) - As sung by Paralee Weddington, Busch, Arkansas on April 30, 1968
VERSE 1
A poor unworthy boy who dared
To dis-regard his Fathers care
And scarned to see his sisters tears
And would not heed his Mothers prayers
VERSE 2
From their advice he turned away
To cards and dice he learned to play
Until his comrade he did slay
While gambling on th Sabbath day
VERSE 3
The weeping Mother cry's aloud
O, God, do save this dying crowd
That they may not be cast away
For gambling on th Sabbath day
VERSE 4
Th sherrif cuts a slender cord
His soul has gone t' meet th Lord
