LISTEN<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

It was [D] early last December, as [G] near as I remember<\/span>
\nWhile I [A7] staggered down the street in tipsy [D] pride [A7]<\/span>
\nSoon I [D] lay down in the gutter, thinking [G] thoughts I cannot utter.<\/span>
\nWhen a [A7] pig came up and lay down by my [D] side.<\/span><\/p>\n

Two old [D] ladies passing by gave [G] me the choiceness eye<\/span>
\nAnd [A7] laying there I over heard one [D] say [A7]<\/span>
\nYou can [D] tell a man who boozes, by the [G] company he chooses.<\/span>
\nThen\u2026..the [A7] pig got up and slowly walked [D] away.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Then I [D] started in to mutter, as I [G] rose up from the gutter<\/span>
\nAnd I [A7] sadly went a-bout my lonely [D] way. [A7]<\/span>
\nI was [D] weary, sick and busted – I was [G] really quite disgusted<\/span>
\nAnd I [A7] vowed to sign the pledge that very [D] day<\/span><\/p>\n

For each [D] humble, lowly creature, a great [G] lesson he can teach ya<\/span>
\nLike the [A7] one I learned while in- the – gutter – I [D] lay [A7]<\/span>
\nIn the [D] tavern, do not tarry . . . when you’ve [G] had all you can carry<\/span>
\nJust take [A7] up your load and slowly walk [D] a-way.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
