Whisky Johnny Songtext

von Bob Roberts

O whisky is the life of man
Whisky—Johnny
O I'll get whisky where I can
Whisky for me Johnny
O whisky here and whisky there,
Whisky—Johnny
O I'll get whisky everywhere
Whisky for me Johnny
Whisky made me pawn my clothes
And whisky gave my this red nose

I'll drink it hot, I'll drink it cold
I'll drink it new, I'll drink it old

O whisky killed my poor old dad
And whisky drove my mother mad

Some like whiskey, some like beer
I wish I had a barrel here

O whisky hot and whisky cold
O whisky new and whisky old

Whiskey killed my sister Sue
And whiskey killed by brother too

O whisky up and whisky down
O whisky all around the town

Whiskey killed my poor old dad
And whiskey drove my mother mad

O champagne's good and rum is free
But whisky's good enough for me
