Whiskey, you villain,
You’ve been my down-fall
You’ve cuffed and you’ve kicked me
But I loved you of old
Oh Whiskey, Rye Whiskey,
Whiskey I cried
If I don’t get rye Whiskey
I surely will dieIf the sea were made of Whiskey and I was a duck
I’d swim to the bottom and never come up
Oh, but the sea ain’t made of Whiskey and I ain’t a duck
So I play Jack Of Diamonds and trust on my luck
I said Whiskey, Rye Whiskey,
Whiskey I cried
If I don’t get rye Whiskey
I surely will die
