Whiskey, Johnny! -

Oh!

Whiskey is the life of man.

Whis-key!

John-nie!

Oh, I’ll drink whiskey when I can,

Oh, whis-key for my John-nie!

'Twas whiskey made me pawn my clo’es.

Whis-key!

John-nie!

An' whiskey got me a broken nose.

Oh, whis-key for my John-nie!

Oh, whiskey drove my mother mad.

Whis-key!

John-nie!

An' whiskey nearly killed my dad.

Oh, whis-key for my John-nie!

Oh, whiskey here, an' whiskey there.

Whis-key!

John-nie!

An' I’d drink whiskey anywhere.

Oh, whis-key for my John-nie!

Oh, some likes gin an' some likes beer.

Whis-key!

John-nie!

I wissht I had a barrel here.

Oh, whis-key for my John-nie!

If whiskey was a river, an' I could swim.

Whis-key!

John-nie!

I’d say «here goes"an' dive right in.

Oh, whis-key for my John-nie!

Oh, whisky is the life of man,

Whisky, Johnny!

I drink whisky when I can,

Oh, whisky for my Johnny!

Whisky from an old tin can,

Whisky, Johnny!

I’ll drink whisky when I can,

Oh, whisky for my Johnny!

I drink it hot, I drink it cold,

Whisky, Johnny!

I drink it new, I drink it old,

Oh, whisky for my Johnny!

Whisky makes me feel so sad,

Whisky, Johnny!

Whisky killed my poor old dad,

Oh, whisky for my Johnny!

Whiskey is the life of man,

Whiskey, Jonny!

Oh, I’ll drink whiskey while I can,

Whiskey for my Johnny!

Oh whiskey straight and whiskey strong,

Give me some whiskey and I’ll sing you a song.

O whiskey makes me wear old clo’es,

Whiskey gave me a broken nose.

Whiskey killed my poor old dad,

Whiskey druv my mother mad.

If whiskey comes too near my nose,

I tip it up and down she goes.

I had a girl, her name was Lize,

She puts whiskey in her pies.

My wife and I can not agree;

She puts whiskey in her tea.

Here comes the cook with the whiskey can,

A glass of grog for every man.

A glass of grog for every man,

And a bottle full for the shantyman.
