Текст песни The Fatal Glass - Tom Paxton
Now
there
once
was
a
young
man,
and
he
came
to
the
big
city
Seeking
a
lucrative
position
commensurate
with
his
talents
And
he
walked
the
streets
all
day
and
he
couldn't
find
a
job
Till
at
last
he
secured
employment
working
in
a
stone
quarry
with
all
the
other
college
graduates
And
one
evening
after
work,
they
lured
him
into
a
saloon
And
they
urged
him
to
drink
a
glass
of
beer
But
he
said
he
wouldn't
do
it
for
he'd
made
a
promise
to
his
mother
That
he'd
never
touch
a
glass
containing
an
alcoholic
beverage
Well,
they
laughed
and
they
jeered,
they
called
him
a
coward
Till
at
last
he
raised
and
drained
the
fatal
glass
And
when
he'd
seen
what
he
had
done,
he
dashed
the
glass
against
the
bar
And
rushed
from
the
saloon
with
a
terrible
case
of
delirium
tremens
And
the
first
one
that
he
saw
was
a
Salvation
Army
lady
And
with
one
kick
he
broke
her
tambourine
While
all
she
said
was
"Heaven
bless
you",
and
placed
a
mark
upon
his
brow
With
a
kick
she
had
learned
before
she
was
saved
So
the
moral
of
this
story
is
to
shun
the
fatal
glass
And
don't
go
around
kicking
other
people's
tambourines
