Whiskey - Jolly Jackers

You left me again, but this time for good

The daytime ran fast, but the nights just stood

So I went to a bar near my home

And I met this guy, Jamie, a decent fellow

You left me again, but this time for good

The daytime ran fast, but the nights just stood

So I went to a bar near my home

And I met this guy, Jamie, a decent fellow.

He said:

'Come here, my friend, you look so sad

Surely I can help you make your bad times pass

Come here, my friend, you look so sad

Just drink it up and you’ll forget!'

The next day I met Jamie again

But this time he brought along Johnny, his friend.

I started to talk about how life’s hard on me

These two guys were quietly listening to me.

They said:

'Come here, my friend, you look so sad

Surely I can help you make your bad times pass

Come here, my friend, you look so sad

Just drink it up and you’ll forget!'

The next day I met Jamie again

But this time he brought along a lot of his friends

Johnny and Jim and Jack joined the gang

And they became a bunch of good friends.

They said:

'Come here, my friend, you look so sad

Surely I can help you make your bad times pass

Come here, my friend, you look so sad

Just drink it up and you’ll forget!'

So we’ve been together since I don’t know when

I do the talking and they just listen.

I lost my job, too, but I have these friends.

They surely can make my bad times pass!

They say:

'Come here, my friend, you look so sad

Surely I can help you make your bad times pass

Come here, my friend, you look so sad

Just drink it up and you’ll forget!'

'Come here, my friend, you look so sad

Surely I can help you make your bad times pass

Come here, my friend, you look so sad

Just drink it up and you’ll forget!'
