GUEST,steve baughman Lyr Add: How Can I Keep From Drinking? (parody) (6) Lyr Add: HOW CAN I KEEP FROM DRINKING? (SATIRE) 26 Dec 09


Someone may have done this long ago, but I've not found it. So here it is. Have fun this New Year.
^^
HOW CAN I KEEP FROM DRINKING?

My life flowed on in endless song
Of pain and lamentation
But a joyful sound above the throng
The call of sweet libation

Through all the tumult and the strife
That gets my soul a-sinking
The joy a dram confers in life
How can I keep from drinking?


Though doubting thoughts torment my soul
Oh, if my Savior liveth
There's none can shake what I well know      
The joy the bottle giveth.

No storm disturbs my inmost calm
When doubt sets me a-thinking
There's peace assured held in my palm
How can I keep from drinking?


I lift mine eyes, the cloud grows thin
I see the blue above it
Each passing day new joys begin
Since first I learned to love it

That gentle flow none can malign
A fountain ever springing
All things are fine since I am thine
How can I keep from drinking?
