Oh whiskey is the life of man,
Always was since the world began.
Chorus:
Whiskey-o, Johnny-o,
Rise her up from down below,
Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey-o,
Up aloft this yard must go,
John rise her up from down below.
Oh whiskey is the life of man.
Whiskey from an old tin can.
Chorus
Now whiskey made me pawn me clothes
And whiskey gave me a broken nose.
Chorus
Oh whiskey straight and whiskey strong,
Give me some whiskey and I'll sing you a song.
Chorus
|
If whiskey comes too near my nose,
I tip it up and down she goes.
Chorus
I thought I heard the old man say
"I treat me crew in a decent way".
Chorus
"I treat me crew in a decent way,
Give them whiskey twice a day".
Chorus
A glass of whiskey all around
And a bottle full for the shanty man.
Chorus
