DevonDeathTrip 2,366 Posted April 20, 2009 Country singer Ferlin Husky has been hospitalised suffering from congestive heart failure and pneumonia. His 1954 single "The Drunk Driver" about an intoxicated man who runs over his two children, is considered to be one of the most miserable songs of all time. This awful accident occurred on the 20th day of May And caused two little children to be sleepin' beneath the clay These two little kids walked side by side along the state highway Their poor old mother, she had died And their daddy had ran away As these two little children walked arm in arm How sad their hearts did feel When around the curb came a speeding car With a drunk man at the wheel The drunk man saw the little kids And he hollered a drunked sound "Get out of the road you little fools" And the car, it brought them down The bumper struck the little girl, takin' her life away While the little boy, in a puddle of blood In the ditch, lyin' there did lay The drunk man staggered from his car To see the damage that he had done And then he let out a yell you could hear for miles When he recognized his dyin' son Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hadn' a clue the man was still breathing. It is - indeed - an absolute kitsch classic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder if those performing ultra-sound scans on him appreciate the irony that this is the man who released an album called: Echoes in my Heart. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was on the unofficial msc Shadow Deathlist though, based on your own information. That makes 6/50 for the year, and 2 in 24 hours. I just need Jaruzelski or Demjanjuk to pop off tonight to make it a hattrick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That could have been a winning punt for Deathrace had you picked him DDT. A tragic, slightly ironic turn of events, suitable as the subject of a country song.
