Lyrics

I staggered on through darkness,
 There was a hazy sky, a few stars
 Which I followed as best I could.
 It was nine o'clock, I was trying to get home.
 But somehow I was lost,
 Though really keeping the road.
 Then I reeled through a gate and into a yard,
 And called at the top of my voice:
 "Oh, Fiddler! Oh, Mr. Jones!"
 I thought it was his house and he would show me the way home.
 But who should step out but A. D. Blood,
 In his night shirt, waving a stick of wood
 And roaring about the cursed saloons,
 And the criminals they made?
 "You drunken Oscar Hummel", he said,
 As I stood there weaving to and fro,
 Taking the blows from the stick in his hand
 Till I dropped down dead at his feet.
