Whiskey

Whiskey is the life of man
Always was since time began

Chorus:
Whiskey oh, John-i-o
Come rise her up from down below
Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey-o
Up aloft this yard must go
John rise her up from down below.

Whiskey made me sell my clothes,
Whiskey gave me a broken nose.

Chorus

My wife and I we don't agree
She puts whiskey in her tea.

Chorus

I had a girl her name was Lize
She put whiskey in her pies.

Chorus

If the ocean was whiskey and I was a duck,
I'd dive right in and drink it up.

Chorus

Some like wine and some like rum,
Champagne is good enough for some.

Chorus

I thought I heard the old man say
One more pull and then belay!

Chorus
