Just in time to serve as a cautionary tale for New Year's Eve, here is an MP3 that is specially tailored to scare the shit out of you and persuade you not to reach for the car keys after hitting the bottle. Unless, of course, you're not particularly disturbed by the possibility that, while driving around drunk, you'll run over and kill two of your own children, which is exactly what happens to the narrator of this gruesome tune.
The best known version of this song is probably the one cut by Ferlin Husky for Capitol Records in 1954. I'm not really sure if the Harley Ford version featured here came before or after Ferlin's recording. A third version also exists. Ricky Skaggs recorded the song and released it on an album that came out in 1997.
