The alcoholic's story reminded me of the Clementine nursery song. Which actually is pretty dark for a children song

Honestly many children rhyme and stories have dark meaning or origins. Just lookat the Grimm stories

Your right. The song is" Oh my darling, oh my darling, oh my darling Clementine, You were lost and gone forever, dreadful sorrow, Clementine. Drove the horses to the water, every morning just at nine. Hit her foot against a splinter, fell into the foaming brine." 
Let's be real alot of these old stories that are now portrayed as being for children were actually written for adults and the originals are super dark.

@GreenBlueLemonHue  well they were actually written for children as grim tales of what awaited them out in the dark and the wild.
They were made to inspire fear in kids as well as play to adult fears like losing one's kids.
